Need some advice on how to focus better

Discussion in 'Self Improvement' started by Munchausen_Faltered, May 11, 2021.

  1. I always thought that I am a good listener but now I am realising that I am actually very bad at listening lectures or reading a book. Thus seeking some advice on how to focus better.

  2. Have you ever been assessed for intellectual/learning disabilities?

    When you're supposed to concentrate, your eyes glaze over, you feel tired, want to get away? Happens to me all the time.

  4. Meditation my friend, there is nothing better than it. i'm talking from experience.

    Everything requires training, Even your mind! I've been doing it daily for 40 days, One Hour a day! I felt really great improvement.
     
  5. Never. Rather my grades are always above average.
    But I always feel like I have an intellectual disability when crippling with physics and mathematics.

  6. Well I sounded retarded in one of my replies to him.
    P.s. Didn’t realised he was saying me mentally retarded when he said intellectual/learning disability.

  8. There's nothing wrong with having a disability. I have ADHD, which makes it very difficult for me to focus. I was wondering if OP would be able to relate.

    Also, can you not use the R word? It's very insensitive.

  9. A quick question if you don't mind, How did you manage to activate your Hyperfocus ?
     
  10. I don't know what hyperfocus is, but there are times when I can write essays or do research for like 16 hours straight with no breaks. It only happens if it's something I'm interested in. And it usually only happens when I take my meds. It could be related to OCD but I'm not sure.

  12. Same happens to me, It's the Hyperfocus ~ That's what i'm talking about, It's super power only given to people with ADHD.

    The only way to activate it according to my own experience, is to block all Dopamine ressources, and become Dopamine Thursty while doing in the same time some Subconscious Self Hypnosis, Than all your focus will be on that specific topic, and once you get your Dopamine from it, You get interested in it, and you will excel in it! That's my personal experience after a long research and practice!

    I never been diagnosed with ADHD, but I feel that i have it, My focus jump upsude down, I was a troublesone Kid at Primary School and turn my parents life into living hell, I was born prematuraly (7 Months ) and i was very weak and small with a very poor weight, all these traits resemble ADHD.
     
  13. It's so much helpful to post your problems here.
    This hyper focus thing happens to me too. I can sit and do so many things in one day and the rest four to five days are just plain waste of time however hard I try to sit for studies. I was about to post about this thing in the forums and I had no clue about ADHD. I'll try meditation and see if anything imporves.

  14. Welcome my friend, I'll start my daily meditation in about a few minutes from now.

    About the Hyperfocus - It is your only Super Power! You could become an Exceptional Person, That people will look at you with a WOOW, Believe me!

    If used properly you couldn't achieve greatness and if you used the wrong way you could ruin your life, becoming an Addict at anything..Drugs, Porn, Videogames...You name it.

    You need to Activate it! I will probably make a Thread about let's test our Super Power The Hyperfocus! ~ ADHD People.

    Ah the Euphemism Treadmill at work, what's the new word people are using so I can switch again? I thought it was settled that retard was acceptable because it means slow yet capable. Much better than disabled which means incapable.
