    I don't know if I have ADHD, or what, but I just can't ever focus on one thing at a time. Whether it's during school, or whatever I just can't stay on task. Recently I've been writing something but I keep getting distracted by every little thing.
    What helps you guys focus?

    What helps me focus is just sitting down and relax for a little. Then I go straight back to right I was doing. And I chew gum

    Listening to music. It's weird, but it helps me focus a lot.

    Normally my teacher plays relaxing music.
    I enjoy listening to it, and having a quiet work area.
    I cannot focus with loud mouths.
    I also like drinking hot tea.

    Oddly enough, chewing gum lol. As weird as it seems, when I have an important exam/test coming up, I just pop a piece of gum out of the pack.

    ..Usually doublemint.

    Since I have braces I can't really chew gum, so I listen to music. I get a lot more done that way.

    As most have said already, music does help. Instrumentals are better as ones with lyrics would distract you, you may start to sing along xD

    What helps for me, is listening to tropical house music. It's just so chilled and it makes me sort things out in my head.

    However, I do have an official reason for this, and that is that I'm 'highly gifted'. I don't know the exact translation of the word, but Google says highly gifted is the good translation.

    You may think that being highly gifted is just being smart, but that's not true at all. Yes, I have a very high IQ, but a downside of it is that concentrating on school is very hard.

    Maybe that's also your problem with staying on task? If these are 'symptoms' you recognize, I suggest you to do an official IQ test.

    I'm sorry if this is not what you wanted as a reply.

    Did you know that your test results will be better if you're using the same particular taste of chewing gum while studying for the test, and while making the actual test? It really helps with clearly different tastes, like something tropical!

    Can a mod fix this double post? I'm sorry :)

    Hm, well I have ADHD too, and what helps me focus is to have nothing distracting around me
    Phone downstairs, no electronics, computer somewhere else, no art pad, no book。 Nothing but what you need to complete what you need to do。
