Guys I think I may have ADD. It's really hard for me to focus on anything, even in things I like to do like reading or playing music, I'm always moving my feet or my hands, I can't stay still, I feel like I can't have a normal conversation because I keep changing topics all the time and it feels like my brain is constantly over-working, like I can't turn it down or slow it a bit. Plus it is getting bad to the point of affecting my grades and my relationships. Anyone here dealing with the same?
Set your phone or watch to 5 minute intervals. When it goes off, assess your situation: what am I doing? Am I doing what I need to do? What should I be doing? Reorient and go back to your task. When you find you can go the whole 5 minutes doing your task, bump it up to 10 minute, then 20 minute, then 30 minute, up to an hour (you honestly don't need to focus longer than that). The purpose is to make you more mindful of your surroundings and situation instead of racing off like an untrained puppy.

Thanks, that's really good advice. I've tried to break tasks into 20 min of working and 5 min of resting but somehow I always end up taking 2 hours long breaks, it's really hard to control myself
