Why do I struggle to focus on one task? (1 Viewer)

[athenaaa]

I was putting away the clean plates, which my mom was waiting for me to do so she could wash more dishes. I open the cupboard and on the top shelf was the beef jerky and some other snacks I was hiding. So that prompted me to start making my lunch. Completely forgot about the dishes I was being waited on to do. And this was nowhere near the first or last time this kind of thing happens. I literally cannot stay focused on a task. At work I’m bouncing around doing a lot of tasks. Beneficial when busy but on a quieter day that just means I’m leaving a lot of shit unfinished. And don’t even get me started on trying to do an assignment. 💀I pick like two assignments to do and I flip back and forth between them. But I can’t stay focused on schoolwork for too long, like today I made an aesthetic cause I got distracted. I completely forgot about that assignment until like 40mins later. It’s becoming to the point where me forgetting things is actually affecting my ability to do anything properly and completely.

A lot of people around me use Adderall to help them focus

Does it help?

Yes, by a lot. There's one person who usually is nonstop talking/bouncing around in class and she took someone else's Adderall who has a higher dosage and she was silent and focused the entire time. Her normal amount I think was 10mg and the other girls was around 50mg? I dont remember the amounts exactly.
