ok ,,the older i get the dumber I was..and while I am trying to learn new things I'm finding it incredibly hard to focus...

maybe its A.D.D or maybe its the kids constantly trying to steal my attention..

I need to find a way to focus more on what I am doing for extended periods of time...

I find smoking has always helped me focus for a short amount of time but I really hate smoking so don't want to use it as a crutch..unfortunately old habits die hard..

so...any one got any tips, or ideas...I know turning the TV off is definatly one, and I really should switch off the f**king facebook too...

i remember reading some notes here on excercise and the key to it being to enjoy what you are doing...i guess its the same with study as i always found when i was focused on building my skyline I found it easy to read through pages and pages of information here...which is hard because i really dislike reading as well....I find talking things out has always been an easier way for me to learn...unfortunately it can be hard to find intelligent people to talk to as they are usually busy doing intelligent things...so reading is where its at...

anyway...I've lost focus now so I will leave it to the SAU geniuses to diagnose my brain....

:cheers:

Simply avoid the caffiene...it has too many long term affects.

Take time out to relax...remember Achimedes discovered about weight by immersing himself in his bath. Volume has a relationship to weight and the water displacement was the perfect way, but I digress.

Try taking some known herbs that can benefit memory.

For instance, gotu kola has been used as a medicine for thousands of years in India and China for improving mental function amongst other things.

Another is mate - Yerba mate is a central nervous system stimulant containing caffeine, but it also contains a number of other nutrients, including antioxidants, amino acids, polyphenols, vitamins and minerals. Yerba mate is touted as being a safe and effective nervous system stimulant with few side effects and many health benefits. One of the health benefits is it enhances your ability to focus. Researchers have found that the minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, animo acids and polphenols found in the beverage have a balancing effect on the caffeine it contains. Users report increased mental energy, clarity and focus, but they also say that yerba mate doesn't cause any of the uncomfortable side effects associated with drinking caffeinated beverages, such as headaches, stomach aches and jitters. I work in front of a computer each day programming and found it to be of benefit.

Here's a link for more info about improving your ability to focus. http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/6-brain-boosting-herbs-to-improve-your-productivity.html

Also get some fresh air and take some time away from distractions in your life as well.

Hope these help!

Research...

* Phosphatidyl Serine amino acid > short term memory & cognition

* Vitamin B3 200mg+ in a complex > focus via blood sugar & utilisation of serotonin & contribution to prostaglandin E1

* Ginkgo Biloba > cranial blood supply

* Gotu Kola as mentioned by Russell

* Inositol > myelin sheath integrity

* Omega-3 Fish Oil > DHA & EPA

* l-Tyrosine > short term memory via dopamine support

* Physical activity as downtime

* Sweets and alcohol minimised

* Acetyl-l-Carnitine + Choline (made by Orthoplex) > Acetylcholine for focus and short term memory

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
