How Can Difficulty In Focusing On A Task Be Managed?

I am inquiring about some medical help in regards to a problem that I ve had my entire life. I m not a fan of taking drugs but I seem to keep being told by my friends and family that I have always had trouble focussing and maintaining a conversation that I might need some medical help. I also started a new job that requires me to focus and I never really realized how much of a problem that I had until I was really put in a situation where I was forced to do it is there anything you can recommend?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I can understand your problem. Start doing this simple exercise- take interval of fixed period after working for time period which is increased gradually. For example, work for 10 min then take a gap for 3 min and then again work for 10 min. On next day increase it to 15 min but keep the break time same. This will help you in improving your concentration.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
