Distraction

Distraction is when something takes your attention away from what you're doing. For example, if you're trying to do your homework in your bedroom but you hear your mom calling you for dinner, this would be a distraction and you'd stop doing your homework and go eat dinner. Distraction can be a good thing because it reminds you to do something important, but it can also be bad if it stops you from doing something important like school work or your job.
