Inability to fully concentrate and get absorbed in a topic without looking for distractions
    #9086428 -

I can't get really absorbed into anything anymore.  I always try to get involved and interested in things but I find my mind constantly searching for different forms of distraction and entertainment, from day dreaming about many different things to playing video games.  Anybody else experience anything similar?

Do you smoke a lot of weed all the time?

Meditation helps. For the first five or so minutes you'll be thinking "This is stupid, I could be doing (insert activity) now!" But it really does help.

Once you get the hang of it you'll have far greater concentration and a better idea of what really is important. Plus the benefits really go on and on. I consider meditation to be comprable to a very slow, continuous lsd trip.

(obviously not the "trippyness" but that wonderful clear feeling that comes the day after.)

Nope, I'm 20, smoked weed first when I was 14, smoked when very often from 16 up until about 3 months ago where I have smoked probably 10 times since then, mostly in about a week span a month ago where I smoked everyday. 

Anyways, I don't really smoke anymore.

I know exactly what you mean.  I used to meditate a few times a week and now I can't even concentrate enough to meditate!  I try to but I find my mind attempting to continually distract myself with different day dreams and ideas.

I was kind of iffy about including the LSD part, but I don't really know how else to describe it. I always get that beautiful clarity and sense of well-being after meditation. The only thing I can really compare it to is the feeling of clarity I get the day after a wonderful trip.

More like achieving what is already at our disposal.  just learning to hone into that natural clarity and tranquility.

Which is what I love about life. The point when you realize that everything you truly need is already within you is one of the happiest days you'll have.

I'd advise the op to really, really give meditation another (several) shot(s). We've all had days when it doesn't click, but when it does things will fall back into place.

I share in the same thing the OP is experiencing. Daunting tasks requiring my attention for prolonged amounts of time are very difficult.  I don't even read like I used to because sometimes I just get bored.  I know some mentioned marijuana, but I actually have found it to help a little in this regard, although not a whole bunch.

I work from a computer 85% of my work day, and I always find myself on the internet putsing around.  Forum websites, user-contributed news websites, and things like 4Chan change so quick, providing this sensory satisfaction I don't get elsewhere.  I think it's our constant interactions with computers in a fast pace society that shape the way we think. 

I find myself with all these great ideas, but I don't have the attention span to pursue them and bring my ideas to fruition.  I'm trying, though :shrug:
