You can use a video editor to finish your creation.

Motus dice How many times did you get distracted while doing the activity?

Surely when you were doing this activity something happened that made you stop.

Maybe someone knocked on the door, maybe the teacher was talking to someone, maybe you heard a noise in the street, maybe you remembered something you did yesterday....

When we learn we are surrounded by things that can distract us. When you get back to the activity you find it harder to focus.

That's why it's important that you learn to control your distractions. Here are some tips:

- Concentrate well on the activity you have to do.

- If it has many steps or is very difficult, take short breaks to rest.

- If you are bothered by what is around you, try to see if you can reduce it: close the windows, ask for silence.

- Think that if you are distracted you will take longer to finish.
