short attention spans...is there a cure?

You know many years ago, say about 5 i started an orkut group called serious issues, and not more than ten posts later i lost interest in the entire group...i am sure there are millions other like me who just when they feel they are about to rise up on the horse, they lose their footing and lose total interest at the task at hand....i have often found myself in this awkward and stupid position...another instance in my life is when i pick up the newspaper i start reading an interesting article and no more than 3/4 th thru de article ... m done and on 2 de next....

i wonder is the cure 2 short attention spans ... jus mere concentration or could there be more 2 it....if anybody has an answer am more than willin 2 listen but perhaps not more than 3/4 of what u have 2 say.....
