Unless I'm interested in the subject matter, I have to read over the material several times before I can have any hope of retaining it.

On the flipside, if it is a subject I am really into and want to gain insight about I cannot seem to get enough info and it "sticks" much more readily.

If you find yourself very easily distracted, constantly daydreaming or catching yourself "spacing" during lectures, If you have a tendency to "overdoodle" in the margins of your notetaking notebook while you should be writing down pertinent information, if you're gazing more out the windows at the landscape than you are paying attention to your professor, etc. etc.---

You may want to consider seeking out some evaluation and testing for ADD/ADHD.

If you have piles of "stuff" everywhere in no particular order yet you know where everything is...

These are just a few instances from my personal experience. If distraction and the inability to concentrate are hindering your studies than perhaps it's time to seek out a solution so you can excel. Seems you've already begun your search by coming here and asking questions.

Good Luck-

& Peace to You.
