My ability to concentrate has gone downhill as well. I think it's several things. One is the internet..it's so easy to just bounce around from this or that, cultivating a short-attention span. The other is that I'm too "in the head." While my mind is very active, I don't feel like it really exercises my brain which brings me to the third point. Creativity! When I pick up my guitar that I used to play regularly, I get that feel-good workout sensation in my head afterwards. This also happens when I sit down to draw. So I think that kind of focus and creativity is an area that I've neglected..it's an aspect of life that I think is central regardless.
