1. choose the best answer.

write down your ______ goals in your personal life, relationships, family, career, and education.
lifetime
summer
award
retirement

Explanation:

• For the first part (eliminating interruptions):
• Do not bring your cell phone to work, or turn it off: Cell - phones can be a major source of interruptions (e.g., calls, messages). Removing them or turning them off reduces such distractions.
• Try to work away from foot traffic: Foot traffic (people walking by) can lead to visual or auditory distractions. Working in a less - trafficked area helps.
• Do not allow people to idly chat around you: Idle chatting is an unnecessary interruption. Setting boundaries against it helps in maintaining focus.
• For the second part (filling the blank):
• lifetime: Goals in personal life, relationships, family, career, and education are typically long - term and span a person's lifetime. "Summer" is too short - term, "award" is not relevant in this context, and "retirement" only pertains to a specific stage.

Answer:

• For eliminating interruptions: Do not bring your cell phone to work, or turn it off; Try to work away from foot traffic; Do not allow people to idly chat around you.
• For the blank: lifetime.
