oh attention span, where art thou

[weezergirl]

i've noticed that since i started using the internet my attention span has gone WAY down. it's virtually impossible to read a chapter from a textbook. it's a wonder that i pass any of my classes. is there any way to reverse this? it gets worse every day i think. i can't concentrate on one topic without my mind wondering or finding something to distract me. thank god this is my last quarter...

do any of you guys have this same problem. what do you do when you study?

Educational darwinism, adapt or fail.

Find a place to go (like a library) where you won't be so easily distracted. Also, budget your study time.

When you're a dolt little is expected of you.

When I had this problem, I solved it through getting into better physical shape. When you're more physically tuned it seems that it's a lot easier to study. Taking a run at the start of the day does a lot for me before I get home to settle down and study.
