Dealing with short attention span

[Edwardo Piet]

And if you're playing an FPS don't listen to music you enjoy, you get fragged more.

Unless you love that music so much it keeps you amused while you listen and play the game for 16 hours a day for a year and a half - when without the music you would have probably been bored a lot quicker and given up - and so you get a lot of practice and are able to jump up and headshot people on the horizon with speed and ease relatively regularly without a scope.

EDIT: Furthermore, I wish *I* could deal with a fucking short attention span. My attention span used to be hideously long. And I say hideously because I tended to do the same thing for hours and hours and hours straight and get so immersed in it that I really needed *Less* focus.

Now I have a really short attention span because I am very afraid of getting over-focused again, getting so immersed that I ignore people when they talk to me and just forget to un-focus, get addicted, etc.

The problem is now I am WAY too easily distracted. Rather than being told the same thing 3 times (or a lot more) before I hear people, now I immediately respond to any background noise or otherwise distraction - so I have such trouble focusing now!

And fuck, I can't do balance. If it's anything I can't do it's balance.
