As the title suggests!

What do you do to improve your concentration, or focus?

[beth]

i take my tablets!!!

no but seriously, i take my medication ;)

[FlyingJesus]

I quit and do something else

[Jamesy]

stick on some rocking tunes, and take the laptop onto my bed so I'm not distracted by people talking to me - thats homework specific though. :) At school I don't know really, I'm pretty focused there anyway.

As a general rule I put on some piano music that helps me relax, and I sit in my dining room which is the quietest area of my house, and just get stuck in to whatever needs doing!

I have a short attention span naturally, but I find that allowing myself to be distracted for a short amount of time every so often helps me to improve my concentration - or at least concentrate for a little longer.

i get my mum to lock my laptop n book in her room for a few hours if i need to study
i'm pretty good at not getting distracted i just need motivation to start
still working on concentrating when i'm driving, feels like the best time to worry about stuff :l

this, its so much easier at the time

At school it tends to help me concentrate if the teacher is interesting and not just writing stuff on the board for us to copy out. But when I'm not being distracted by people sitting around me talking to me, I'm really focused in lessons.

I used to take pills, not prescription, but with minerals and herbs etc. (like homeopathic stuff) which help improve attention span. They worked, but they kept me up until like 5am everyday and I began to feel exhausted, so I don't take them anymore.

Now I listen to music a lot more than I used to, while I'm working, and during breaks, it clears my mind. I also go for a drive to clear me mind as well :P.

i don't really it comes naturally.. if i understand the work i'll concerntrate & focus more and vice-versa

[StripedTiger]

:s well really i make sure i get a decent amount of sleep, ive started drinking a lot of water recently rather than pop etc. i have a tuna sandwich every school day (yes i know thats weird to eat the same thing like routine) and if i know im not gunna be 100% (usually hangover - usually work though) i get a mcdonalds breakast before starting and have a bottle of lucozade close by

[Narnat,]

I sit down and listen to a bit of Taylor Swift or a bit of mild rock. in school .. well I just try and sneak out my I-Pod

[Moh]

If it's something boring, then nothing will improve my concentration. If its some sort of presentation then I'll lose concentration after about 20 mins and then start thinking about other stuff :P

Same really. If I understand it I'll do it - if it seems difficult I'll just drift in and out.

I do drink a lot of water though which helps.
