Author Topic: How do I improve my ridiculous attention span?  (Read 1708 times)

Okay, before anyone gives me the "stop being lazy" flag, this is an issue that has been stuck with me my whole life. I have no idea how to fix it, but it won't get me anywhere in the world, so I really need help.

I give up on everything. Eeeeverything. As of now, I have tried getting into running, writing, programming, card games, brain training, walking, biking and reading. I have tried to start doing those every day, and usually a day after I start doing them I just quit and move onto another activity. I try not to focus on one thing ever, as I cannot. It also occurred to me that I can't focus on activities that last more than 20 minutes. This is the main reason I stopped playing LoL, DotA and StarCraft. This all hurts me. I want to be able to expand my horizons, to be knowledgeable in more than one area, but I simply have an insane amount of trouble doing that.

Help?


There have to be some things that hold your attention. Learn more about them. And I don't mean do work, I mean just kind of casually learn more about them.

Nah, ADHD is stuff like hearing air conditioners and not being able to block out background noise. He's just trying to flesh out his interests.

No, it isn't. I know from experience.

A short attention span doesn't equate to a mental disorder. This is an unhealthy train of thought.

I didn't say he had ADHD, I said he should get tested for it just in case.

He shouldn't get tested for anything because he has a short attention span. You can't blame all your issues on a disorder and then medicate to "solve" it.
