Ya, it's very hard to focus. I got through college by not having tv, i really did not own a tv. and i made my living space simple so i could study. my short term memory is awesome for taking tests, so i would cram last minute. try to get rid of distractions so u can accomplish your goals.

Good ideas snuff. I have had to take GED classed four times and still hav't gotten it. Yes I understand. Not to make you hopeless. Keep at it and good luck.

The older I get, the more trouble I have with it. You should see me getting ready to go somewhere for the day!! Of course, being on medication now may have something to do with it also....
