To get back on topic, if you find that your attention span is too short, I'm sorry to report that unless you're using drugs, you'll have to simply train it by being disciplined and getting into the habit of staying focused.
It's bloody hard though. I've been catching up on my university peers in terms of discipline and focus - studying some stuff I'm not fascinated in definitely is painful. But if you keep to a schedule and resolve yourself to studying/paying attention to a particular task that you find boring, you can improve your concentration.
Personally, I find it easier to keep on track with the aid of music. Aggressive music for coding, introspective music for deep thought. Children of Bodom and Alan Parsons makes for an interesting combination when switching methods.
