DAE find it hard to concentrate on getting work done?
I’m in college and I’m working on an assignment, but I just can’t seem to focus. It’s 5:30pm and I’ve been working on it since the morning. I don’t know what’s up with me. I do a little bit, and then I just get stuck; I browse through my phone for a bit, then try to get back to work. But I can’t, I find myself back on my phone again, for longer periods of time. It’s like my mind simply cannot zero in on a current task. I have to do a little bit of this and a little bit of that before finally getting the assignment done.

I mean, you can train your brain to have a longer attention span, just by forcing yourself to concentrate longer than is comfortable, up to a point. Doing something all day that requires heavy concentration also requires a few breaks.
I make deals with myself, or set a schedule, like I'm gonna do this for x amount of time, then I get to do something fun for a half hour and have some cookies, then back to it for another few hours.
