Personally, I can not concentrate for more then 1-2 hours on something.

No matter what I do I just can't concentrate, I tried music but that just made my concentration worse. This is really annoying, especially when I need to do a whole lot of work in 3 hours.

So how do you concentrate? If you do.

Can't they just load you up with Adderall? That's a good drug for concentrating... Apparently.

I instill myself with a sense that I need to accomplish this task or I will suffer severe consequences. I tell myself, "You can do it!".

I also take breaks now and then and think about things for periods of time. A good way to concentrate, relax and plan things out. Just sitting there tense won't help.

I can't concentrate for long periods of time, so I just learned how to get stuff done faster and more accurately. It works, I guess.

Sometimes if I can't concentrate it works to multitask. Instead of trying to focus on one thing and one thing only. I set up a few things to do and go between them.

possible, do you focus on one task at a time or the job as a whole...

i find spliting something i have to do into smaller tasks helps me focus because i focus on 1 task at a time....

Honestly just clear your mind then think about what your focusing on and get all the other thoughts out of your mind
