Chapter 2 Response

I think external noise distracts me a lot more than internal noise. Things like high room temperature or loud surroundings make it very hard for me to concentrate on something. Some things I do to try and re-focus and get back on task are trying to drown out the noise or surroundings by focusing on whatever task is in front of me. During a presentation or speech specifically, if I were speaking I would try to focus on my bullet points or information and if I were listening to a speech I would try to focus on the words and actions of the speaker rather than my surroundings.
