<s>[INST] the past year i have had real bad problems in school and staying concentrated on doing school work. i just cant bring myself to work on my school work. Also i have to drag myself out of bed to go to work and school. I jump from task to task and either only get half the work done or not at all. What do you think i should do? [/INST] Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much.  You are supposed to refer to concentration and attention as two. Attention span for any adult is maximum 30 minutes. Sometimes, a person can be attentive to an interesting thing for more than 30 minutes, such as movies or games. Concentration is attention plus understanding. For this too, span of below 30 minutes. If you are able to make your studies interesting and based on variable principle, your concentration level can be increased. Concentration comes only when you are interested in what you do. So please be passionate towards what you are doing or do only those things which you are interested in. It is also possible to improve your concentration level with the help of yoga, meditation and breathing exercises. Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement.
