#focus problems

[sgt-cookie-2]

You ever wonder about what it is you miss most about your childhood?

For me I think it would be the ability to just watch cartoons for 6 hours at a time.

Not doing anything else, just full focus, this cartoon I am watching right now has 100% of my full attention.

God that would be wonderful to be able to do again, right?

Something I've really been struggling with recently is academic focus

Like I CAN focus in general, I have deep convos with friends on the fly, correct 30 20 page papers in 2 days, when I draw sometimes it turns out different that what I imagine but ik that I'm imagining this pose bc of so and so scenario I imagined or bc of so and so fic I've read, when I read serious fics I can predict and dissect

But tell me to study and I just.. stop

I used to think it's bc of the phone, all the time I spend on tumbler or maladaptive day dreaming to tt audios (hours a day istg it's a problem) but even when i lock my phone or lose interest I STILL can't pay attention

Maybe the problem is learning specifically? But if so then why and how? I used to be an academic weapon I swear

It's all so ducked and I need it to get better it's not even a joke anymore

Me: (writing three stories, watching a video on my computer and phone, reading Irish poetry thinking about also reading the manga I have unread right by me as I talk to my friends on discord all at the same time) I honestly dont know how

Alright I will open up in here.

I'm 25 and doing masters in one of the well-known universities in my country. I have always been an average student even though I study hard. I have also been successful time to time too. I had some intense study sessions that I enjoyed too but even then I cannot score to 90's. The only way for me to score that high is giving me the task for like a day or a week depending on the length of the task.

I cannot make up my mind and read the questions in exams quickly and start solving it. I know everything, I swear I do but this happens like since forever. I cannot make myself take the action in exams. I keep reading the question and find myself understanding nothing.

And let's come to the hectic part.

If I make myself get the action and start using my knowledge I make the most silly mistakes ever because I miss so many details in solutions. I need at least 30 more minutes to review my solution but that's all we have for one question already. I swear things I do are never 'wrong'. What I mean here is knowing something wrong or having no idea and making up a solution. This has never happened to me in these particular exams. 90 percent of my exams don't get high scores or the score I need because of that.

Also, when we're playing games or watching a game show they are explaining the rules and I cannot follow them. Since I remember myself I cannot.

Maybe these aren't actual problems, maybe I'm doing something wrong. But still I think it came to a point that I might lose my degree to this.

I have been searching and couldn't find anything that fits my problem. I will see a therapist but I wanted to leave this here in case someone finds it relatable.

my adderall brain after realizing my college classes didn't give me any real assignments, trying desperately to focus on something:

hurngh.

I need to stop coming on Tumblr to look at different interpretations of Robespierre. I always tell myself I’m just going to look so I know exactly how I want my novel to go (which is always my intent), but I keep getting distracted by unrelated posts aka Harry Potter, Good Omens and Phantom of the Opera.

Focus stupid squirrel brain! Focus!

I feel like I only have two setting:

Can write a story while also being able to listen and understand what is being said in the video I play

OR

I can barely focus and do anything because my brain went “Nope, distraction only”

Confession #5,490

I can read books again! For so many years, one of the worst symptoms was not being able to focus to read a book. As a bookworm this was tough. But I'm back! I always have about 14 books checked out a time and am relishing being able to read books again!
