Attention Span

I think modern media definitely caters to shorter attention spans but everyone is different. I know people who can't focus for more than a few seconds and some people who can do the same thing for hours. Not even kidding, I was playing Red Dead Redemption 2 last week and I played poker for about three hours straight -send help I have a virtual gambling addiction-

I never thought about that, I have a fairly long attention-span, but even I get tired of the same stuff after a couple of weeks. That's one of my problems with JRPGs, they take way too long. Unless it's an open-world RPG, if I can't beat a game's campaign in 2-3 weeks, I'll move on. Although interestingly, I usually spend MONTHS reading about certain topics that interest me.

Um yeah, I would absolutely not take drugs or get some kind of ADHD prescription for your attention span unless you think you have no other choice or have exhausted all other options. I have never heard of fish oil being used for anything like this, it's basically just a vitamin so you can pick it up without a prescription and it's relatively harmless, the only side effect I can think of offhand is that it can make you burp and they even make "burpless" brands. But it sounds like you're just looking for general advice to stay calm and focused. You say you don't like noise or bright lights... have you considered working a night/graveyard shift? My body is so much more relaxed working evenings, it's late when I come home but it's quiet and I can focus so much better than I can in the morning. A few other practices that have really worked for me... meditation, exercising like taking a walk outdoors, reading. Just keep trying things, I'm sure you'll fall into a routine that works for you. I'm certainly becoming more productive than I used to be with just a few small changes. Not just running around like a nutcase anymore rofl.

My attention span varies depending on what am doing, competitive games I can focus for 20 hours straight, but something dull then am going to get distracted in about 10 minutes.
