Hey guys i'm really having trouble focusing/concentrating.

>>18482796
may sound stupid but I've started using some lofi hip-hop radios on youtube and found gr8 success at concentrating. but that is for studying.
As for paying attention, I've found the solution to that one a long time ago, just repeat every single word you hear in your head.
Maybe these only work for me, but you might as well try them amirite

i'll try the repeating thing but i can't really study/work with music, i get too into it.

oh, if you genuenly enjoy it then it won't, me being a metal-head it's like a sound that doesn't disturb me and makes me forget about the outside world. maybe you can find a music that makes you feel the same, but yeah, kinda hard to study for the likes of us

hemispheric synchronization"hemi sync". Listen to it every night before bed, making sure the earphones are on the correct ears. There are tons of youtube videos on this

not same as OP, he's just a bit of a dispersed guy, you're fucking crazy dude, go and do some therapy, you have a most likely diagnosticable mental disease, go do some therapy and take the prescribed medication

i was implying the 'focusing/concentrating trouble'

it's not like it does it all the fucking time
in public it never crosses my mind
if anything, it comes when im bored

not what was said there tho, make up your mind

You could try lighter stimulants or supplements that improve focus

I've found that the combination of caffeine and l-theanine (both easily found at almost any supermarket like Walmart or Tesco) works the best for me most days. The doses should be equivalent, depending on your tolerance to caffeine anywhere from 100-300mg of caffeine + that much l-theanine would be a good place to start. The theanine acts as a very subtle relaxant (there's no noticeable psychoactive effect on its own) which counteracts the negative side-effects of the caffeine.

Modafinil or Adrafinil (if they're legal where you live) are great for focus and are very well tolerated by most people but there's not a lot of research for daily use so you'd want to take a dose maybe once a week at the most, on a day you really need to get a lot of work done. There isn't a stimulant high at all so there's little risk of addiction, it basically just feels that 1 hour period after you sleep really well and you feel extremely motivated and awake but for about 8 hours. Don't take it after 12pm though of else you probably won't be able to sleep well.

The racetam family of drugs are also reputed to improve focus among other things and are legal pretty much everywhere

I'd advise against heavier stimulants because they're harder on the body, much more addictive, illegal usually, and worst of all in your case it's hard to get the dose needed JUST to focus and not get distracted by the high. A lot of people pop an adderall to study and end up alphabetizing their bookshelf and beating off for 6 hours.
