I don’t know if this was the right way to phrase my question.

I have this problem where I space out every now and then, I just can’t shake it off and start doing the things I should be doing.

For example - If I’m in a room with a bunch of people who I should be talking to, I will most likely speak a few times and then I’d space out and look like Kanye’s Blank Stare meme.

    If this is something that you consider to be a big of enough issue, look into the Forest app. It’s the only thing that works for me and my ADHD.

    It’s an app that plants a digital tree. And if you use your phone during that time, the tree will die. And for each amount of time that you concentrate, you get a certain amount of coins that allow you to purchase more species of trees, so your forest becomes more “decorative” over time. Some of the trees aren’t real, so it makes it fun to see the designs they come up with. And there are seasonal ones to make it fun.

    The motivation to care is because after you plant a certain amount of digital trees, an environmental group will plant a tree for you in real life. This has been surprisingly effective for me when needing to focus on a task at work for extended periods of time.
