I have a big translation job. Deadline one week, 15.000 words. 401 columns.
I just can’t focus. Normally on these jobs, I do about 30 columns an hour. I’ve sat here for 4 hours and only done 20 
My mind keeps wandering. I’m restless. I’ve haf some coffee, but it just mad me more restless.
How do I make myself get on with it?
Maybe you need to give yourself a scheduled break. Like “for the next 20 minutes I will not think aboutthe project. Then I will work on it for 5 minutes then take a 5 minute break.”
Btw moved to school and work
If caffeine doesn’t work, stimulants like Ritalin and Adderrall are much stronger. My pdr told me that concentration issues are common in sz.
I think my only problem is negative symptoms as I had no real concentration issues off meds or on Abilify when my negative symptoms were less. But before sz my concentration was a lot better, even my teachers told me that I have super concentration.
it’s impressive you still manage to do that job !
I hope it gets easier again though.
That is a pretty demanding job. Your doing great. We all have good days and not so good days so be easy on yourself 
I was on adhd meds as a teen, due to a wrong diagnosis. All it did was make me nervous and give me permanent tics
Ugh I’m losing focus today. I do one column, take a break, do two more, take a break… I’ll never finish in time at this rate
