Extensions are applications you can download and install on a web browser, like Chrome or Firefox, and many of them offer tools to help cut down on distractions. Extensions such as RescueTime and Time Tracker (both available for Chrome and Firefox) will record and tell you how much time you spend on different websites, so you can identify your problem sites. Similar applications are available for other browsers, such as Safari. Common time-sucker sites to watch out for include social media (Facebook, Twitter), news sites, blogs, and online games. There are many different apps and extensions available, depending on your device and browser, that can help you stay on track. Popular browser extensions include StayFocusd (Chrome), LeechBlock (Firefox), and KeepMeOut (all browsers). Make sure not to block important sites. Carefully follow the instructions for your extension and ensure that you're not blocking websites you might need access to, such as your email or bank account. Sometimes the most distracting part of being online is the pings and pop-ups displayed to show activity on your online accounts. Turning off notifications will disconnect you from those sites when you're not using them. On Facebook, click Settings in the top right corner and choose Account settings, then the Notifications to disable email notifications. On Twitter, click the profile icon, select Settings, and click on Email Notifications. Cell phones connected to the Internet are tempting sources of distraction. Turning your phone off or on silent and putting it out of your line of sight eliminates the temptation to check social media or texts. On iPhones, use the "Do Not Disturb" mode by swiping up on the screen, then pressing the moon button. This keeps the phone on, but silences the ringer and vibrations.

Summary: Use a browser extension to determine the distracting sites you use the most. Download an anti-distraction app to block your "trouble" pages. Disable notifications. Turn your cell phone off, or put it on silent.

Scientific studies have shown that luckier people have open minds and seek out chance opportunities. Chance opportunities are those random encounters that seem to benefit lucky people. The good news is that by opening your mind, you're more aware of the chance opportunities. Rather than focus on the negative outcome, appreciate any positives. For example, if you got into a car accident and needed costly car repairs, focus on how lucky you were to walk away uninjured. In doing so, you're creating your own good luck, simply by changing your outlook. On a similar note, be grateful. Some studies have shown that reflecting on things you're grateful for can make you happier and luckier. Consider your dreams and set achievable goals to get you closer to meeting them. These goals will create opportunities and new experiences which are critical for changing your luck. Working toward future goals prevents you from getting stuck in a rut of a routine and exposes you to new people and situations. When you're optimistic, you tend to view things positively, even if it's an outcome you don't want. In being optimistic, you can view a negative situation in a positive light. For example, imagine tripping and breaking your arm. An unlucky person would focus on how bad luck made him fall, while a lucky person would instead think how lucky he was that he broke his non-dominant hand. Believe that you have the power to change your situation. Start by addressing what's upsetting you and decide what you need to do to feel better about it. Whether it's financial, a relationship, school, or work, realize that you have the ability to turn the issue around positively. By changing your problem, realize that you have the power to effect change. You're not subject to the whims of luck or superstition.
Summary: Open your mind to chance opportunities. Deal with bad luck. Keep your future expectations high. Be optimistic. Be aware of things that bother you and do something about them.
