Why don't you try writing in a journal daily and see how your focus increase when it is time to write a paper for a class.Jonathan Stringerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06885744598312758334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576441349839497673.post-573099785927356152012-02-16T06:37:08.860-08:002012-02-16T06:37:08.860-08:00Its always hard to find ways to stay focus.

I found this has a little bit over the years.dakota hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160827160962587607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576441349839497673.post-91711838837835866192012-02-15T17:35:11.169-08:002012-02-15T17:35:11.169-08:00It can be hard for me to stay focus sometimes, esp...It can be hard for me to stay focus sometimes, especially when I'm writing something I'm not interested in. I am more focused with my television on, than I am with it off. Yeah, I'm backwards.It's something about a silent room that distracts me and makes me do other things.I enjoyed this post.Meloniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18109481180426242843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576441349839497673.post-67182848547022427222012-02-15T13:40:31.094-08:002012-02-15T13:40:31.094-08:00Alicia, you took the words right out of my mouth. ...Alicia, you took the words right out of my mouth. I have such a hard time staying focused, not only with writing but with anything. My thought patterns are all over the place that most of the day I can not finish anything. The lack of focus has become so bad that I am almost convinced I might have a touch of ADHD. However, when writing and I start to loose focus I will do exactly what you said, TURN EVERYTHING OFF. This may help for a few sentences, but I usually start to slack a little again before I can finish the assignment. If this happens the I will get up and go for a smoke( now in no means am I saying to smoke, you should find something rewarding you like) 10, 15, 20 minutes later I will come back to the assignment and reread what I already have and just keep on going. Hopefully this time through I will make it to the end, but if not I just start my process over.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06455541736957221492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576441349839497673.post-89691899288777740242012-02-14T15:18:44.163-08:002012-02-14T15:18:44.163-08:00It's nice to read and be able to see that you ...It's nice to read and be able to see that you are honest with yourself. You know your weaknesses, and what causes them. Now you have to work to improve them. I really do not have many tips, except taking 5-hour energy.lol just kidding. But seriously, I have had the same problem in the past, and I just relate what has distracted me to what is being taught.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03703104988793913091noreply@blogger.com
