<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

Hey guys and girls. I've noticed lately that my attention span has completely shrunk, a few years ago when I need to learn something I could focus everything onto it and I'd achieve it cause of the shear effort I'd put into it. Lately I've tried learning some things and my mind starts to wander very early and I am finding it hard to stay focused on the task at hand. I find that even if I am reading an article that I'm interested in I rarely now get to the end, often stopping a paragraph or two before the end. 

Not sure if this is due to the fast paced world we live in these days, where we're always connected, we can always find out stuff straight away. websites like reddit (love it here btw) where you can see lots of stuff quickly and easily, lots that don't require tons of focus, like meme jokes and funny pics. Or if its due to something else.  Does you have any idea what's going on? Any ideas on how I can re-train myself to focus solidly again?
<bot>: (my favourite part of all long posts) I can't focus for long periods of time lately. ideas for what's up? ideas for improvement?
