How to increase your attention span and ability to stay focused?!


Question: How to increase your attention span and ability to stay focused?
I feel that most of this problem has to do with over-usage of the internet, facebook, hulu, etc, constant text messaging, and a barrage of adverts and television programs. So my first step I think is to limit the use of these. As well as cutting out the large amount of caffeine that I currently consume. However, my attention span is seriously becoming an issue lately: I can't focus in college, extremely hard to read, and it's almost impossible to listen to someone talking for longer than 10 seconds without my mind drifting off... Need to fix this, fast! Are there any other methods that you've found to be helpful?

Try looking into the Pomodoro Technique http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/ and using it strictly. Getting enough sleep is also critical.

I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. MY MARKS ARE BECOMING WORSE AND I CAN'T FIX THEM. I CAN'T STAY ON TRACK. Maybe, if you set some limits for yourself....



You may have ADD and there are prescriptions to help you focus but for now do what I do, multitask because then if I get distracted I look at another peice of work lol
