Answer 1

do you have ADD, that's what it sounds like to me, I don't know much about ADD though so I could be wrong.

Answer 2

the reason people space out it because of lack of blood moving to the brain. so spacing out can be prevented by moving around. you dont have to be moving so much that you have to get out of your seat all it takes is to change the way your sitting periodically maybe bounce one of your legs up and down. rotating your hands quickly for a few seconds works too. quick motions work best.

Answer 3

A man had a donkey with that problem. He took it to an animal trainer.
The trainer went to his shed and brought out an 8' 2X4.
He whacked the donkey across the forehead.
The owner asked, "Why in hell did you do that?"

FIRST, you have to get their attention.

Might work for you.
