Distraction (मनो-विक्षेप) and Conflict.
--
Urge (संस्कार), Will (संकल्प), Desire (इच्छा), Distraction (मनो-विक्षेप, अन्यमनस्कता), and Conflict (दुविधा, द्वंद्व), Illusion (भ्रम), Delusion (विभ्रम), Doubt (संशय), Ignorance (अज्ञान) and Knowledge (ज्ञान) are all different kind of modes of mind, while Realization (विज्ञान) is the only freedom (their removal), Liberation (मुक्ति).
--
Urge (संस्कार), is inherent though latent or becomes active because of the external conditions and situations (of the body, mind and the world). It is none of the rest, though could be attributed to Ignorance (अज्ञान) and Knowledge (ज्ञान).
Will (संकल्प) is no doubt born of the compulsion of choice from the available options.
Desire (इच्छा) is similar to Fear / Apprehension (आशंका, भय), where one is hope and another is aversion.
--
Distraction(s) (मनो-विक्षेप) like Conflict(s) (दुविधा, द्वंद्व) are many but in essence are unique as well.
This is how they are looked at.
The core-nature of Distraction (मनो-विक्षेप) is unique in that it is the attention diverted away (ध्यान विचलित होना ) or just the absent-mindedness (अन्यमनस्कता). In both situations the attention gets divided and the not fixed on a single object of attention.
--
Urge (संस्कार) again is a tangled knot of memories and the patterns of actions one has gone through in the past. Freedom from the urge is tremendously a big task and here lies the relevance role of effort (प्रयत्न, प्रयास).
Effort (प्रयत्न, प्रयास) is the consequence of attention (ध्यान) that is its own movement.
attention (ध्यान) is the fixing of mind on whatever object that comes into its contact.
Awakening (अवधान) is the alertness that comes up on its own.
attention (ध्यान) is subject to time, place, condition and situation or rather to any of the 3 mental states namely the waking, dream and the dreamless sleep when waking and dream cease to exist.
Awakening (अवधान) is the movement where-in the 3 phases / of mind keep resuming repeatedly in their own turn.
attention (ध्यान) purified becomes the Awakening (अवधान).
Awakening (अवधान) prospers into the Realization (विज्ञान).

गीता-सन्दर्भ
तस्मात्त्वमिन्द्रियाण्यादौ नियम्य भरतर्षभ ।
पाप्मानं प्रजहि ह्येनं ज्ञानविज्ञाननाशनम् ।।
(अध्याय 3, श्लोक 41)
ज्ञानविज्ञानतृप्तात्मा कूटस्थो विजितेन्द्रियः ।
युक्त इत्युच्यते योगी समलोष्टाश्मकाञ्चनः ।।
(अध्याय 6, श्लोक 8)
शमो दमस्तपः शौचं क्षान्तिरार्जवमेव च ।
ज्ञानं विज्ञानमास्तिक्यं ब्रह्मकर्म स्वभावजं ।।
(अध्याय 18, श्लोक 42)

It is not through urge, desire, will, or even effort that one attains the Realization, but the clue is in the stanza 3/41 referred to above.
These 3 stanzas however, are supported by the earlier 5 stanzas of the same Chapter 3.
3/36, 3/37, 3/38, 3/39 and 3/40.
Summarily they point out inattentiveness (प्रमाद, अनवधानता) as the foreground where-in grow and breed and develops the evil tendencies like lust (काम) and anger (क्रोध), which destroy the attention (अवधान) and thus obstruct the way of Awakening (अवधान) and the Realization (विज्ञान).

Hope to write on these 5 stanzas in the next post.
