OMG, Thanks! I kept trying to use google, but didn't find much relevant. I kept finding articles on staying focused on like, long term life goals haha.andrew wrote:I have the same problem, usually when I forget what I'm trying to accomplish. Try these:XianForce wrote:Anyone here have some tips on keeping focus? For the past few years, I've been finding it hard to maintain my focus in anything, but lately it seems to be worse. I seem to 'space out' a lot in various things, like homework, programming, and anything else for that matter.
Sometimes I could be solving a simple math problem , and it can take me like half an hour, when it should take a maximum of like 2-5 minutes. It's because I'm not maintaining my focus, and it's really starting to get annoying, and sucking a lot of my time away...
So anyone else have this issue, and/or have tips/solutions for it?

Re: Staying Focused...
That's because everyone IS ADHD. Just a matter of how much and how easily they can control their being distracted. Fucking commercials are seriously rotting our minds nowadays, even I end up forgetting what the hell I'm watching (during commercials) most of the time.Lord Pingas wrote: Damn.
Everyone seems to have ADHD these days. Half of my class have it, apparently.
