The Biggest Obstacle I Have To Overcome, Help Needed

[Withnail]

One of the main things that hinders my game is that I have a very low attention span. This makes it much harder for me to learn the skills taught by Andy, Yad, Tom or anyone else. I find myself watching the daygame blueprint and about 10 minutes in I wont be able to concentrate and my mind will wander whilst watching or maybe even stop watching completely and play a video game or I end up web browsing and then when I am on a date or I am talking to a girl I usually cant remember hardly any of the skills that have been taught. My memory is actually quite good, its just that I find my mind often wanders in different directions when I am trying to learn something and my focus drops very quickly. I feel that if I could get past this problem then I would see drastic changes to my skills with women as well as socialising skills in general.

I watched Andy's video on state shifting and how you can use it to get yourself in a more extrovert and creative mindset, ideal for approaching women. I was wondering if there was a way to shift my state to one that has higher levels of concentration with the ability to absorb information better, a state that is perfect for processing and learning information. Any advice on how to shift my state or any tips for focus and concentration would be greatly appreciated as I feel this is the one thing holding me back.

I was/is the same. Have a hard time concentrate on something for a long time. What have helped me is to meditate for about 15 minutes every day.

If I watch something and start to lose focus, I can feel like its itch on my body or that I need to get something to eat, drink or that I need to hit the toilet. Its all in your head and you just need to focus really hard when you feel like you start lose the focus. Then it goes away!

Ive tried meditation, it has helped me feel more relaxed in general but has barely helped in terms of concentraion. I was the same at school even if a find something interesting ill end up doing something else. It is as if my brain is addicted to novelty, I guess all I can do is google ways to help improve focus and concentration.

I dont think google is gonna help you that much. You just need to concentrate and keep the focus. Sure, you could search for some technique on the webb that could help you. But in the end it is all up to you to really pay attention and focus.

Watching long drawn out videos are bound to bore anyone, even good ones like the daygame blueprint. We as humans weren't designed to sit and watch lectures, we were designed to be doing something. I'd say you're completely normal in this regard.

As for the infield stuff, I really don't think you need to remember ANYTHING infield. You should forget everything you've learned when you approach and do your thing. The best time to think about what you've learned is after. When you get back home, reflect on your approaches and then try to integrate them with your knowledge. Think "oh, this didn't work out, maybe I should try this next time" and so on.

If you're thinking about what you've learned in-field that you're in your head, and for the girl, that is boring. She wants someone that's in the moment, not off somewhere else.

Also, how do you go playing video games? I'm guessing that when you're playing video games you don't get bored after 15 minutes and start to fidget. That's because you're into it and enjoying the game. Daygame is the best game there is, with greater rewards than any video game. I guarantee that if you have fun infield you wont find yourself getting bored.
