If the distraction is consuming your mind it might be a good idea to approach it and attempt to get it out of your system. For instance that guy you're thinking of all the time, scrape up the courage to ask him out. If he says no you can forget about him and get on with what needs to be done. If he says yes you're going to have to accept the fact that you'll be fighting distraction for a while!
