Do You Struggle To Concentrate?

Question

I find it very hard to focus on one thing. If I go to a sports match, or to watch a film, or if I am at a conference or whatever, I know that I need to concentrate, but after a few minutes, I find that my mind has wandered on to something completely different and I have missed some of whatever I am watching. I refocus and after a few minutes, the same thing has happened. Do you find the same? What did you do to help you keep your attention on things?

Answer 1

That happens to me all the time.

I threaten myself, and if that doesn't work i force my body to go through the motions.

I have to go to work now, so bye.

See I'm doing it now!

Answer 2

i get it too, really bad. it's getting a problem because i've started leaving situations earlier than i want to just because i can't stay focused. even conversations that i need to have in which i'm asking questions i just switich off. it's annoying cos it makes you feel rude but you can't help it. if you find a way to stop it let me know!
