[quote="Kops"]I'm wondering if my lack of focus on one thing at a time is a good thing or not, I've been noticing it the past few years actually. It's useful when I have to do something boring because I can be easily sufficiently distracted for hours with the trainwreck of thoughts going on in my head but when there's something I
do want to do it turns into a curse and makes paying attention hard because it's not exactly voluntary. Plus it makes listening to people hard sometimes because I might be thinking of something and I might just not process what they're saying altogether because I'm just lost in thought.

I'm probably overthinking it and this is just normal, but it does make considering further education as viable option difficult since it makes studying a nightmare. I could hardly focus studying for an hour during high school just for an exam regardless of how much I tried and college would require putting
many hours of studying in
a day. Just... not really feasible for me right now.

Meditation helped me with a similar kind of problem. When I was at college I would always spend my time lost in thoughts and daydreams of what I was going to do after I finished.
And yeah the practice of recognising thoughts as thoughts really helped me, it also can help with anxiety and stuff too. When I say meditation, I don't mean the deep spiritual stuff like walking across heated coal in bare feet. I just mean putting some quiet instrumental music on and just laying down for 15 minutes every day, as random thoughts come in. The idea is to try and recognise "That's a thought about family, that's a thought about how tight money is right now." or whatever the case may be. It's like training your brain to recognise thoughts as just thoughts that may or may not be true and so don't need to be at the forefront of your brain constantly.
But then again I'm a strange person so strange things like that tend to work for me, it might be a really bad idea for others.
I'm thinking of booting up RTC3 and carrying working on Fliptropolis (yes I named my own park after myself, so did Disney though and y'know, it still ended up being sort of successful)
