How can I be more focused and pay attention?

Question

..For everything.

HW- Sometimes I'm watching TV and doing it, sometimes I'm down on the coffeetable doing it instead on my table, yeah I pretty much get distracted.. But sometimes I don't have a choice because my Grandma's house she just moved into and she still has to buy a desk I can work on when I go there daily before I go home.
Math./Especially on my math homework.. its the subject I hate, worst at ( meaning I have a B+ and a B in but worst grade in my report card ) I always get wayy too distracted when I'm doing my math hw.. something Always gets me off track and makes me go slower at it.

Then sometimes when people are talking I can't help nod or 3/4ths pay attention and just put the 'face' on because it's a little boring.. I really want to fix that too.

I really want to learn how to actually pay attention more and how to actually 'save' it in my brain..if not Too long at least a decent amount..How to do hw right and concentrate better..Thanks a lot if you can help:)

I do have a slight less-eating disorder. It's not too bad but I do think about fruits half the day.

Answer 1

I have those problems too. The way I fix it is to keep telling yourself to concentrate. If it's in the forefront of your mind and you realize it more often then you can fix it. Hang on to the words and repaet them back in mind.

Answer 2

I get distracted easily too, so I tried setting a timer for 15min and just focusing on what I'm doing for that 15min and then when the timer goes off I will set it again and then focus on something else for another 15min, and after 3 lots of 15min so after 45min set the timer again for another 15min and use it as a break, have a drink or something and then when the timer goes off start on something else again.

edited- don't race to get more done just take your time, go steady.

Answer 3

do your HW in your closet. Then keep the closet door shut.
