I have a problem...I can't concentrate when I'm at home, its so hard with so many tempting distractions. Is there anyway I can cure this? Also, is there anyway to balance Maple and homework? Can anybody provide me with examples so i could probably adjust my own so both Maple and hw can fit :D That'd be a big help, and thanks in advance!

Reward yourself with Maple when you're finished with all your work.

Its like trying to pay attention to class 24/7, you'll be distracted and your mind will wonder off to Disneyland or something zzz

Yeah, but then how do you do it? What has your mind been set to?

I'm like that, too, but that's only because I have no self control/discipline. What you're talking about is not to do with your attention span, but with your self-discipline.

the thing about maple is that it uses a schedule of reinforcement to get you hooked. it's not a good idea to play maple on school days because you won't be able to focus on your work. video games have been shown to hinder your ability to focus on school. so unless you're in middle school, cut back on maple. balance does not necessarily mean doing the two side by side, one after the other. it just means doing one without risking the other, and you won't be able to achieve this by doing hw after you come home from school and then playing maple when you finish hw.
