Help, I have a really short attention span

Is anyone else like me? I can't concentrate on one task for more than 10 minutes. I get bored of it, end up doing something else and repeat. I just feel like I never get anything done because of it, or if I do it takes so much longer than what it actually should.

At the minute I'm supposed to be studying for an exam, but I find myself rereading everything and daydreaming so I'm not actually learning anything so here I am on Mumsnet..

Is this is a problem that I should be worried about? I'm annoyed with myself!

Do you have attention deficit disorder?

I'm exactly the same. Writing a speech today and whenever I get a mental block, roughly every 10 mins or so, I'm on mumsnet, facebook, start tidying or take the dog out. She's been out 7 times today and I stay in a 3rd floor flat!
If you find the answer on how to increase focus let me know the secret.

Yes I'm like this to the extent I've wondered about ADD

I've not been diagnosed with ADD. I haven't read up about it, I'll have a look now
