Can't focus on one project..

    I have a million and one ideas floating in my head, sadly there isn't enough time in the day to do them all :(
    I'm half way completing a small website of mine which I hope to turn into a small part-time business but as I'm doing it, I find another great idea with an uncovered niche and easy way to get some money (and traffic). At the same time as that, I update my own personal website now and again..try to maintain a small Youtube channel and on top of all that I have a lot of college work.

    Anyone else find it hard to really focus in on one thing and forget the rest?

    Yeah..I really got that.You don't have to forget anything .Whatever you do do it in constructive way so that it will help you.Seems you pretty much lack of concentration.Lets try finish all you started.
    You need patience and faith in your work.Then you get focus aromatically.

    I find myself hard to focus, but in your case, it's because you're busy with your college work.

    I find multi taskers generally speaking are neurotic.They are all over the place and getting these types to focus on one task and bringing it in on schedule is almost impossible.I prefer people who focus on one job,do it right,get it done and on time.

    consultation isn't free, anyway, why not do one thing per day? Like a class schedule similar to the one you get from school? You need to learn to focus on one thing at a time if you can't multitask

    I used to have this problem... and then I discovered tricks to work around it. Multitasking really doesn't work. I've tried and failed many times. So this advice is geared towards 'one project at a time' work. You need four sheets of paper and a spare hour or two the first time you do it, but you get faster with time.

    1. Make a list of everything you have to get done for school. Short description of the thing, deadline for it, and make sure it's immediately doable ("write a paper" doesn't work; "research a journal article to write Psych paper on" works). Make another in the same manner for school. And make a third for home.

    2. Arrange them by priority. For school, this is usually the deadline first, grade percentage the assignment's worth second, and other factors like difficulty third. For work, deadline and difficulty. For home stuff like errands, the amount of time you've been procrastinating on it first. ;)

    3. Take your fourth sheet and write "TO DO" at the top. Yep, this is the big, scary to-do list. Write the day of the week today first. Keep in mind the time required to do each thing and the difficulty of each, and put together a schedule. For instance:

    Friday:
    --Scan journal article.
    --Write thesis for English research paper.
    --Outline Religion paper.
    --Write three articles due Saturday.
    --Proofread articles written yesterday and send.
    --Buy groceries and cook bulk supper to eat for meals over the weekend.

    Saturday:
    --Proofread articles written yesterday and send.
    --Write two articles due Monday.
    --Read journal article and summarize.
    --Outline English research paper.
    --Write first draft of Religion paper.
    --Party at Joe's place.

    Sunday:
    --Meet friends for breakfast.
    --Send at least 5 emails to potential clients on Craigslist.
    --Write first draft of English research paper.
    --Edit Religion paper.
    --Crash and watch TV.

    It's okay to put personal stuff there, too. See how I balanced the papers so I'm not writing two rough drafts on the same day, and the articles so I'm getting them done with a day to spare to proofread? That should give you some ideas. Hope that helps.

    You should focus on it if you want to do something in feature, try to make some schedule in life and then try to run on it.
