Schoolwork (Score 0)

I used to have the same problem. I found I couldn't study without drifting off onto some, more interesting topic. I dropped out of college after 3 years, and I discovered that when I got a job, I didn't have those problems anymore. I work as the CTO for a company that provides extended long distance service in Georgia, and I've found that if I feel the task at hand is actually accomplishing something then I have no problem concentrating on it. If I consider a task to be pointless or unnecessecary, then I have a real problem putting my mind to the task. I think I had such a hard time concentrating in school because I thought then and still do that it was a waste of my time. It appears I was right at least in some respects. So maybe your problem isn't that you have a hard time concentrating in general, maybe its that you think (maybe subconciously) that its a waste of your time.
