Did anyone else here have a short attention span once?

How did you improve it? How long did that process take? Has studying become more pleasant to you?

Kind of. I can pull myself out of that however, if the need is great enough. But I can't get any revision done unless exams are imminent, which means I'm always in a hurry for them.

Couple of things:
>sleep enough
>go work in a place with no distractions
>DON'T TRY TO DO SHIT WITH YOUR COMPUTER OR PHONE OPEN
>don't give up immediately
>grow balls

When all else fails there's always
>go bitch at a doctor
>get some amphetamine derivative

Some of my professors talk about dealing with these kinds of things. A suggestion from them was for me to stop being a faggot.

But what they really said was to study for a little bit, get up and walk around, come back and study some more. Switch up what you're studying. Don't do it all in one sitting.

After getting depressed from high-school embarrassment, I learnt to re-assess my ability to focus and not give a shit about other peoples social media or even the TV/music etc.

All of those things are optional and I'm different from others
