Take a break from ZARP, don't check the forums, hang out with friends, pay attention hella in class and shit like that. Stop thinking about a community over your actual life. In summary, just take a break from your computer itself, delete Steam and reinstall it when you know you're good to come back. Only play ZARP on free times, and if anything, do your work FIRST then play last.

It's not even that I think about the community and my computer.

I just can't get anything done. I've tried everything:

Unplugging my PC until I get the work done
Uninstalling Steam
Uninstalling every game on my PC
Cleared my bookmarks bar on Google Chrome
Cleared my history so I wouldn't get suggested anything distracting when researching
Hell, I even uninstalled Spotify

None of it seems to work. It's not the distractions around me that are the issue; it's me that's the issue.

I've had a similar problem with my course this year and my final exams. No matter how hard you try you end up just getting distracted by even the smallest thing.
Good luck man.

I am not a medicist, psychiatrist, mentalist or physicist but I know one thing: being in front of a screen all the time slows down your brain, lowers your attention span and causes headaches and sleepiness.

Something that might also help is getting an eye test. If you have bad eyesight, however slight that might be, your eyes put in more effort and take up more energy, which again leads to headaches and sleepiness.

Even if you don't think you need it I'd advice you to still try it. I never thought I needed glasses until a friend pointed something out on a board to me and I said "Wait, you can read that from here?"

Trust me, it helps a lot if you do indeed have bad eyesight and is different from the advice most people will give you.

I do have glasses, and I've tried limiting my time in front of a screen to an hour a day, which I did for a month, yet I noticed no difference.

Try lowering the amount of coffee you take per week slowly, e.g instead of 7 days a week, try taking it 6, then 5, then 4, then keep it at 4 for a bit, then 3, then 2 coffee's a week, then 1 a week, then try as hard as you can to stay on 1 a week, then stop.
Coffee is not good for you, my parents take 2-3 coffee's a MORNING and without it they just die. (They are now in their late 40's)

Try just doing 30 minute study, 1 hour break, 30 minutes study, 1 hour break, 30 minutes study. It makes it feel like you studied for 4 hours but you studied 90 minutes.

I'd like to point out coffee actually helps with learning. If you stop drinking coffee nothing will change, it might even get worse.	Raeker Offline Former Community Manager It hurts the best of us Posts: 9175 Thanks received: 6576 Karma: 213

I'm thinking of speaking to my GP about the possibility of ADHD, because it's just getting silly at this point. My masses of work will be the reason that my F1 count on SSRP will be lower than usual.	SorIe Offline Marvelous Boarder Posts: 10851 Thanks received: 4315 Karma: 400
