Focus and memory
Hi, former mensa member here, but also a teenager.
Have you guys also had issues with focus when you feel like you understand something, but aren't necessarily able to recall all of a topic from memory? It makes revision really difficult for me and my mind wanders quite easily, even if I remove distractions from the environment.
It's also really hard to motivate myself when it feels like it just doesn't do much, because I know I'll do fairly well without it and there doesn't seem to be much point to it.
Do any of you have any useful tips on how to improve that?
Separate point, but do you also have tips on how to purge stuff from your memory? Sometimes it feels like there's just too much random, largely useless stuff from years ago just floating around and getting in the way of whatever boring thing I'm meant to be doing.
