    Attention span problems.....

    I'm really having problems with my concentration at the moment, in class and at work. My job is quite academic and I need to do quite a lot of written work, but I'm really struggling to sit down and concentrate.I'm also finding in class that I get distracted really easily and have problems remembering things.
    I have a pretty healthy diet, and drink no more than two coffees a day and quite a bit of green tea/water.
    Just wondering if anyone had any tips as its really starting to bother me!
    Tried working away from my pc,but still had problems!

    Music helps me, or doing 2 things at once... if i surf a web page i can switch back and forth between that and whatever else i'm working on...
    What would happen if a year-old baby fell from a fourth-floor window onto the head of a burly truck driver, standing on the sidewalk?
    It's practically certain that the truckman would be knocked unconscious. He might die of brain concussion or a broken neck.
    Even an innocent little baby can become a dangerous missile WHEN ITS BODY-WEIGHT IS SET INTO FAST MOTION.

    I know!I seem to work in short ,concentrated bursts! Always did, even doing my masters I would do an hour of working and concentrating in "the zone" and then would find it hard getting back into it.
    Is it Ginko that's meant to be good for helping the brain? I hear Omega 3/fish oil is supposed to be good.Perhaps I'll try that.

    yah gingko biloba's supposed to help.
    don't really remember if it helped me much
    Spkie from Biotest (www.t-nation.com) really helps me in a pinch- much better than caffeine.

    so what're you daydreaming about?
