concentrating


Question Posted Monday January 21 2008, 6:58 pm

I have trouble concentrating.
It takes me forever to do homework because I always get distracted and start doing something else.
It wasn't always like this, it started pretty recently. Within the last year. But I've always been a procrastinator.

Ridding the area of distractions doesn't work, I WILL find something to distract me.


Any tips on how to concentrate better?

It's not ADD or anything, I dont fit most of the symptoms. .

It actually might not have to do anything with learning to concentrate better (of course, there are things you can do to do that). But if this isn't a recent thing you might have A.D.D or A.D.H.D the only difference between the two is that ADHD means that you have to get up every 15 minutes and do something active like run around. ADD/ADHD means Attention Deficit Disorder where you cannot concentrate or keep your attention on one thing for a period of time.

I got this idea from Jack (CuxMiBeckNow7): try to do your homework at the last minute. This way, you'll HAVE to do it, or get a 0/F on the assignment. But you'll also get the things you actually wanted to do done. After many nights of staying up past two, you'll learn to plan out your time better, (I'm pretty sure you'll start doing your homework at around your bedtime at first, at least that's what I did).

Also, try to do as much as possible while your at school. This way, you'll want to finish it as fast as you can when you get home, so you can go on to other activities.

I have the same problem. what i've been recently doing and what i think you should do is shutting off everything that could possibly distract you from your work: cellphone, computer, tv, iPod, etc. then go somewhere quiet where your family isn't around. a perfect place would be your bedroom. good luck & hope i helpeddd!♥

**EDIT**

if you say ANYTHING distracts you, its possible that you might have ADHD. try one more thing, like going to your schools library or the public library. if that doesn't work and youre still getting distracted, you may want to get it checked out. best of luck♥
