Looking for threads/articles for advice on low attention span.

I have a lot of "shit that needs to get done" and I'm looking for articles/RP threads about how to keep my head in the game.

Visualize yourself standing in front of an overflowing toilet. Are you going to run out to the internet for a youtube video on how to make it stop? Not likely.

Yet you're here fucking off on reddit actively looking for the means to prevent you from doing any actual work. Stop being your own worst enemy and go make yourself up an anti-priority list - things that you often find yourself doing instead of actually getting shit done.

Make Reddit #1 on that list.

Shit I deal with this problem too.

One thing that's helped is meditation. Just being aware that my attention has wandered gives me the chance to fix it. Then it's up to discipline, which is another issue sometimes.

Study reward circuity and rewiring dopamine.

Practice discipline. The easiest method is the gym. Force yourself to go every day no matter what. This discipline will slowly find its way into other areas of your life.

How is your lifting going? Do you know what your macros are? How about your diet?

You need to focus on one thing at a time. If the job is to large, try breaking it down into smaller chunks and tackling the chunks one at a time.

Don't focus on your whole workout... just focus on getting this rep in, then focus on finishing this set, then focus on finishing this exercise. Then move on to the next.

Same type of thinking for everything. Don't try to read a whole book at once. Focus on this page. Then focus on this chapter.

Google "how to overcome procrastination"

This is a problem most people struggle with until they overcome it.
