Does anyone here have any tips/excercise/links etc to anything that can help me improve my concentration levels? I've found that they have dropped, probably due to my job. I can get a lot of interruptions meaning that sometimes I'm only spending a couple of minutes on something before something else comes along.
This means that my mind wanders a lot and often I can't be bothered to finish something I've started. I nearly gave up on this post about 2 sentences in, by the way.
I thought trying to learn the piano again might help, but I broke my wrist when I was a kid and so I find it uncomfortable playing for more than half an hour at a time.
I'm getting back into reading again, as I need to get my imagination working. I'm sure I used to be able to picture in my mind's eye exactly what was being described in the book, but I find it more difficult than I used to.
Am I just getting old? Is it the mundanity of routine? Or perhaps I need my routine to make sure I have time put aside to playing an instrument, or reading or doing whatever which may help the situation.
Are they all link? Concentration, memory and imagination? They say the brain is like any other muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it gets. So there must be excercises and stuff I can do to keep it in shape, right?

i'm sure that concentration has a connection to patientace. But the best way is to get rid of all the distractions of one place to complete a task.
Back at uni i couldn't work at home and i simply wasn't being productive. So i spend the time working at uni. Simply being forced to work and having little distraction to get side tracked.

It sounds riveting.

It's part of the game, 20 quick sums to do in your head. It's timed, and the quicker you are the better.

It's part of the game, 20 quick sums to do in your head. It's timed, and the quicker you are the better.
I can't beat 15 seconds though.

Brain Training hasn't helped my concentration, it's fun, although once I got my brain age to 20 I couldn't really be bothered, I only do the x20 calculations every now and then, still can't crack 13 seconds though :(
As for the concentration, I took pills to help me and they worked, no idea what ones though.

I play the DS version quite a bit.
I've got a lot better at it over time, but I don't know if that means it's actually improved anything or if I've just "learned" how to do it.

Possibly, I can't remember.
Don't we have drugs for such things nowadays?
