Improving concentration

Better living through chemistry: DMAE Take any claims made for any unregulated substance with a grain of salt. I've tried this myself, and it decreased my need for sleep quite a bit, and did expand my memory somewhat; I was able to memorize twenty-long random strings of characters immediately, something I can't normally do. Many people report an increase in attention span, but to that I can't attest because my attention span is really long anyway. A friend also tried it, and we both had the feeling that ideas just bubbled up endlessly, at a very fast pace, while we were on the stuff (he still is). In my case, it made me very talkative. I quit taking it after a while because I only did it as an experiment in the first place, and it made me sort of jittery, like I'd had too much coffee (over and above the three pots I normally drink in a day). Do NOT take this stuff if you have bipolar disorder or are depressed, or are taking any sort of medicine that mucks with your brain chemistry, especially with the production of neurotransmitters. From what I understand, DMAE acts as a precursor to choline, which is a precursor itself to acetylcholine, a pretty major neurotransmitter. Regards, Jeff Varszegi

Anyone have any ideas how to improve your concentration. For the past week and a half I have had the attention span of a goldfish and desperately need to regain the ability to concentrate before my boss comes back from holiday and notices how little work I've done. If I had a better memory I would remember more.
1. Uninstall or disable your web browser. 2. Uninstall any IM programs. 3. Uninstall any e-mail programs. 4. Uninstall any games. 5. WTF are you doing here? Get back to work now! :-D Due to technical difficulties my previous signature, "I see dumb people" will be off until further notice. Too many people were thinking I was talking about them... :sigh:

Well, the first thing you have to do is... I'm sorry, what were you talking about?

I suggest you figure out why you can't concentrate. Is it the noise, is something troubling your mind, is the work load or complexity too daunting? Find out what the problem is and see if you can eliminate it. That's what I would do first. Regards, Alvaro

I would suggest not opening your e-mail client, or a browser for that matter. You might go so far as to ask your IT manager to temporarily disable your IP address from the firewall. Extreme? Yes, but it will cut down on the distractions.

One thing that might help is getting sufficient rest the night before. Also, little meditation in the morning can help. Pankaj Without struggle, there is no progress
