In my last post, I discussed how important your attention span could be. It can improve the relationships around you and help you get closer to your goals. Here are ways you can improve your attention span. So you struggle much less.
Set A Timer
This is a method I use all the time If I need to focus on reading a book, Working on Shirt designs, Or Steemit posts. I'll grab a cheap kitchen timer Set it for 10-30 minutes and just go for it. The constant "clicking" sound keeps me on task. And reminds me to keep working. You can use this, or even the Pomodoro Technique to get things done, and maintain your attention on your desired project. Just don't do it as a way of focusing on other peoples talking, That might come off as a little weird LOL.
Force Yourself To Focus
Forcing yourself to focus is a great way to practice it. When you force yourself to do something, Like go for a jog. You start to build up endurance and get better at it.
It's just like with focusing When you force yourself to focus on something for long periods of time. Then you start to get better at it.
Gradually, Sometimes it can be a hard thing to do at. First, you'll find your mind drifting. But when you force yourself to keep focusing then you'll get better at it.
Take Responsibility For It
The bad thing about these "disorders" Like Adhd, Add coming up, Is it gives people an excuse to NOT pay attention. I'm guilty of using this too as a way to allow myself to NOT improve my focus and paying attention to things that aren't as important.
And what has this done to my brain?
I've become a lot worse. My ability to focus has become bad.
And I'm to blame for that.
If you suck at something, Don't use any "Problem." As a crutch. Keep pressing on and practicing to improve it. Take full responsibility for your inability to do something. Even if you do have something like a disorder making things more difficult for you. You can still make improvements no matter what!
Setting a timer is a good idea.
I do not think people with ADD/ADHD or other disorders that can make concentration a struggle use it as an excuse as much as a reason. A lot of us work hard to find and develop tools to improve our attention.
Thank you for the tips!

As a child I used to be distracted and when I when I grow I paid a little attention to my problem and what I do is that I write the things that I have to do and it has given me very good results. I still forget a lot of things, not because I'm distracted but because of my bad memory. Thanks for your post.

That's amazing post, true, we have to focus on task according to the priorities, to manage these in a better way we can use the Kitchen timer, because you know that, how much time you have to give to one task but if you will not set a timer or reminder you will not manage your work effectively. Thanks for sharing.
Have a great day and stay blessed.

I, personally, find that people who claim to have ADHD are bored. That goes for adults and children. For school age children, it's because they are expected to sit still for hours, which is near impossible for kids.
For adults, it is boredom. Who wants to sit in an office, when it's a beautiful day outside?

I like the idea of setting a timer. My biggest issue is constant destruction. This is especially true if I'm working on the computer. It's so easy to navigate away from my work to Facebook or Steemit or any other website I frequent.
Turning off the internet isn't always an option, so the best solution I have right now is to simply improve my self control.

One technique I utilize sometime is called, "Kaizen" It's the Japanese art of selectively procrastinating or dealing with tasks in a way where we only deal with them in manageable chunks so we don't get overwhelmed. I've found it really helpful. I also find it helps to not get too discouraged when you find yourself repeatedly distracted! It's part of nature to be procrastinate and be distracted. It's all just about utilizing that energy in a constructive way!

Oh I know this issue.
At the moment I have to do a lot of exercises and learning for the upcoming exams.
But every 10 minutes I get distracted by mobile phone, internet etc.
Especially since I got to know steemit, it became even more difficult.
I think if you have work to do, turn off all electric devices and stay focused.
Or use SUGAR :D
