A student makes a daily study plan but cannot complete it because of mobile notifications. Which self-management skill is most suitable in this situation?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Removing distractions
The immediate barrier is not the absence of a plan but repeated interruption by notifications. Turning off alerts, keeping the phone away, or using a focused study setting directly reduces that barrier and protects attention. Option A targets the cause; blaming others, postponing work, or abandoning planning would not improve concentration.
