on average, how long can you consontrate on 1 thing before you start losing interest?

I'd say for me.. minimum half an hour, but no more than an hour

For me it depends on what I'm doing. Reading about 15 minutes, quilting a couple of hours or so, cleaning house about 30 minutes. Concentration doesn't come easy to me. I have to work at it.

I really wish that I could consontrate when I read.

I wanted to read the girl on the train (because I heard so much about it, and their's a movie coming out of it)

I can focus on books for like 10/ 20 minits at a time, then just throw it down.

and eventually i'm like well.. I can't read this. it will take me months (like most other booksj ust abandoned)
