    Tis may seem kind of out there, but what's your attention span like? Can you tolerate things for long periods, or does everything bore you quickly? Personally, my attention span is so dried up it makes a rasin look like a watermelon, but how about you?
     
    Very short. :x

    I started drawing this like two weeks ago, and I still think it's amazingly awesome and my best drawing every so far.

    But I can't be bothered to finish. XD
     
    It depends on the time I have and if there are more important things around I still have an unfinished fan fic from April
    The same goes for school, I can't barely stand the last hour, and History is easy for me to pay attention to than Philosophy.
     
    I'll see something I want to reply to, start typing p a short reply, pick at the wording a little, then get bored and go do something else. I'll end up posting hours later, if at all. :0

    I have a short attention span, yeah.
     
    I have a VERY short attention span. I always start up doing some drawing and leave it half finished. I try to lose a few pounds, but I quit because got bored.
     
    My attention span just plain sucks. :x

    While there are times when I can sit down and pay attention to one thing for quite a while, more often than not I find that I am way too easily distracted by things. I'll start to do one thing, have another thing catch my attention, and then...totally forget about the first thing until hours later.

    Or even days later, depending on how distracted I was and how good my memory's being. <_<

    ^I think that about explains it all :D

    I can stare stupidly at something and pretend to be paying attention though!

    (I thought this said 'Attention Spam' for a second...)
     
    Because I'm a genius, my attention span is uber looooooooong :D

    But not so long that I can't get distracted.. like if its really important. XD

    Depends on what I'm doing, actually.

    If I'm really into something, I can sit there and do it for days (even foregoing sleep.) However, when it comes to things I don't particularly like.. my attention span tends to get very small. XD; (Selective attention span. :D)
    Click to expand...

    Same here. XD

    My brain dies and I get bored easily at school but if it's something I like, I stick to it till the end. I procrastinate or work slow on like drawings and stuff but I never get bored doing it. :3
     
    My Attention-Span rates somewhere in the middle, but it really depends on what it is.
    If it's something that takes my interest, I can sit there for hours on end transfixed by it, whereas on the other hand there are things that I couldn't bare to put up with for more than a minute.
     
    srsly srsly short.

    I fell asleep only 10 minutes into class. That was about a year ago. I try to concentrate but I keep on looking into space thinking of things <.<;
     
    I have a bad attention span. It is useful for school though, since I made myself have a short attention span XD
    It really comes in handy for school. The teacher/principal will be yelling at me, and I will be thinking about Pokemon, or Linkin Park. I just tilt my head to the left, and look in that direction, drifting off into the clouds, just day dreaming, like J.D. from Scrubs XD
     
    My attention span varies depending on what it is that I'm doing. I'll keep things simple with one example.

    Take reading. I'm reading Congo for fun because I want to. I can read that book for days on end. Same with any other book I want to read for fun. But with the book I'm reading now for American Literature, Benito Cereno, I get bored easily while reading it.

    So it all really depends on how interested I am in the subject at hand. I'm willing to fall asleep in Geography class, but in History class, I'm ready and willing to learn.
     
    When I'm reading, my attention span can be all-consuming. I have great problems concentrating, but the moment I'm reading, I'm pretty much off with the fairies. But I get bored easily because everyone's boring in general because my attention span is pretty slow. /o/ At school, sometimes I tend to get bored and I begin drawing in the back of my book [you won't believe how many books I waste doing that!], but mostly I'm attentive and a Good Student. When I'm at home doing my homeschooling... er... if you want some work done, get back to me in five days. I'll do one question and then wander off.

    Oh, and when I'm writing -- I'm hopeless. I have no idea how I pulled NaNoWriMo off last year, but I somehow got to 50,000 in decent time. 8D; This year -- I'll make it. I just need to write more than two words an hour.
     
    My attention span is generally short. D: I can be watching the pokecommunity chatroom and then suddenly get bored and flit about the forums like a crazy fly. I'm a fast reader so that doesnt help.
    My attention span tends to suck usually. Really short. XP

    But, And here's the big exception My attetion span can become very long indeed if I have a problem staring me in the face that I need to solve. So If I seem like I'm off in dreamland dont get offended. That's just me trying to figure some of you people out. XD
    Seriously, I can focus on a problem that's bothering me for days and even weeks and months!
    As for things that I am merely interested in I do have a good attention span for those usually. Depends on my mood.
     
    Mine is long. I just cannot pay attention to more than one things at a time.
     
    It depends on what I'm doing. I can be doing something for example like this and then probably in another 5 minutes I might get bored again. School is the worse, I stay in the classroom for like 45 minutes a period and certain classes Entrepreneurship [which I can't even spell] and English I usually go to sleep around 5 minutes after the class begins. They usually yell at me or sometimes throw Chalk at me to wake me up
