I don't have a very long attention span.
I often lose focus and just stare at things.
Or if I see something else, I look at it instead.
This woman was talking about her abuse story, which is horrible, but when I saw her cat, I was like "KITTY \8D/"
I get distracted a lot.
Which is why I disappear or don't work on stuff I owe people.
If I sit down to finish art I owe, I get distracted by things around me, and it takes so long to finish.
That's why I usually prefer to be alone and I put a long video or movie on so I don't have to constantly stop and look for other things.
I have to do a few things. I can't sit and do just one thing.
That's why I put music or movies or series on while I draw.
I can watch a whole subbed anime series while drawing and writing or talking online.
And I manage to get everything from the anime, even if I'm doing other things.
I also don't like reading much. If it's a comic or manga, I don't mind.
But as far as books go, I don't read much.
What I do read, I often just skim over it.
I've done that since I was a kid.
Got literature homework? Just skim the story. Pass the quiz/test.
I scored above average in reading for my GED test, funnily enough.
All I did was skim and use the process of elimination.
If the story was about dogs, then most likely, the answers involved dogs somehow.
Overall, I have a short attention span. But losing focus is due to my horrible sleep. I don't sleep that good and it makes me tired constantly and I just drift off xD;
How is your attention span?
Do you lose focus and get distracted easily?
