Be clear about distractions and avoid them. A distraction is anything that you let get in the way of your main life goals. It could be anything – too much volunteering, too much video game playing, too much recreation, too much work, too much taking care of other people’s problems. If you think you might be caught in a distraction, ask if it is taking you toward or away from your goals. If you want to make your living from acting but aren’t yet – look at your life. What keeps you away from your acting? What are your main activities? Are they leading you to your vision? If not try to let them go or reduce the amount of time you spend on them. Which brings us to our next point.
