Improving concentration

Post Reply New Topic

I have terrible concentration. If I'm working on something and people are talking around me or there is interrupting noise, I can't continue, and I just go off in my head. If it's noisy and I try to block it out with music on an mp3 player, I start concentrating on the music rather than the work. There's nothing I can really do unless everything is completely silent.

A year or so ago I started taking Omega 3 tablets (fish oil) and apparently that was supposed to help. I don't remember if it did or not, so now I'm taking it again and I'll try to see if there is a noticeable difference.

Anyone else feel like me? What can you do to improve concentration, that actually works?

We've been trying the fish oil pills with my 13 year old son, but I have no real indication, or way of checking, to see if it's helping at all.

I used to take fish oil- didn't make any difference at all. Personally I find it easier to concentrate if I've been exercising regurarly- the difference is notable if I miss even one session.

It was suggested to me once to drink a cup of tea. Something in the tea helps the brain open up able to concentrate again.

I have tried this and it does work.

What kind of tea ponies?

There's always Ritalin, I've never tried it but I really want to
