How can I stay focused and interested in school and not be so easily distracted?

School is starting soon, and as always I know I’m going to be bored out of my mind and drifting away from subjects like I always have.. I TRY to be good and do my work and pay attention, but I quite literally get bored to tears. (yawning so much makes my eyes water)

I really think I have a short attention span or something, ’cause I can’t stay focused on my subjects and am easily distracted, probably ’cause I draw a lot, and with anything that can be used to draw with/on.

What do you people do to be good students? Would energy drinks or vitamins or something like that help?

First of all try and get more sleep, that should help with the yawning problem. Get at least 8 hours a night and try to keep up with it and be consistent. That is something very essential for paying attention in class. Secondly, I recommend you have a good breakfast and eat a meal which combines carbs and protein for example egg on toast. mmmm. And a glass of orange juice. Drink water regularly, maybe you could bring some into your classes to refresh yourself. I would avoid energy drinks because if used constantly they can get end up with you being dependant on them. Also they may after a long time have little effect on your body. Use them during exams etc when you need to be alert. Also my little secret…raisins 😀

Try to avoid working more then a hour at a time without a break. Set an alarm clock to give you a ten minute break, please do not use the commuter, except for study work. Also, try to put your back to any windows, and close the door(s). Never work more then three hours at a time, as then you will find that you begin to loose as much as you gain. This last applies to all humans. After the study time is over, then it is relax time, talk to anyone in the house, go for a walk, and/or take pert in a sport. Or all three! “All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy!”.

If you are easily distracted in your classes and outside of classes, you may have ADD. You should get checked out.

Good luck!

Honey you may have ADHD or ADD. Talk to your doctor and he’ll help you get straightened out so you can be a better student.
