I've always had trouble focusing; it's always been one of my biggest problems and screwed me over more times than I can count. I seem to always find something to distract me from what I should be doing - eating, web-surfing, thinking/dreaming about other projects, playing Sudoku, etc. I seem to have particular trouble with writing.
I've got a lot of important stuff to get done this weekend. I was wondering if anyone had any good tips for concentrating. Anything that's worked for you - systems of rewards, meditation, whatever. I keep messing up my life while playing Solitaire, and that's got to stop.
Think about how you will feel once your done. I had this big history project to do, and I kept wanting to give myself breaks. So I just thought, think of the big break you'll get once your done. The feeling of being finished beats any game of solitaire.

Im not the OP, but I have the same problem. I think I'm gonna try this the next time I have something big to do, sounds like a good idea.
