I have ADD, and have been unmedicated for almost 20 years. I have a hard time staying focused while playing (mostly) live or online. It's hard for me to keep track of things in my head. There are so many distractions that grab my attention away. But if I ever do zone in, I'm there in full force.

 

What do you guys do live or online to keep your mind in the game? Ideas for off the table are welcome as well.

 

thanks!

I have similar issues and understand it’s not an easy fix. There are a lot of articles on this issues including a good one on pregame warmup in the TPEU early stages article section. I would definitely look into getting medication if you can afford it as it does do its job If used correctly. In the end IMO it comes down to practice. Start by setting a time to play and stick to it. This has helped me a ton. Then I started steadily removing distractions phone twitter and yes even tpe cAn be -ev If you’re doing too much. If you know a game is on or family in town etc plan around what your priority is. Hope it helps. Gl

One thing that can help is just to wait until you REALLY feel like playing before you do.
