Tips to improve concentration?

[fungussingstheblues]

I feel like my mind is so feeble these days - scrolling through screens, not really taking anything in, less and less able to read books and when I do try, I don't take anything in or find them boring.

I can't remember what I did yesterday and have no stories or anecdotes to relate to people, and when I do I forget bits and get them wrong...

I know the problem is just basic lack of applying myself and too much low-quality media - but does anyone have any good ways of increasing concentration and focus... any good books on the subject, etc etc? HELP!!

Hi there. I'm afraid I can offer no advice only to say that I'm watching with interest. I literally could of written your post word for word. I'm a major procrastinator and spend a disgraceful amount of time scrolling through Instagram, I thought I was amazing I deactivated Facebook about 6 weeks ago but all its managed to do is push me onto other forms of mindless scrolling. I hope this thread gets some good advice.

Put your phone in another room after X time at night, much less tempting. I'm on day 3 of this and it does help After 8pm no phone use for me.
