I find that if I am in a stimulating environment (i.e. at home) I CANNOT concentrate on one thing. Example?
Trying to study at home...oh man the XBox is right there, or the computer to play some poker.
So, I study in the lab, little to no distractions...problem solved (I might run a reaction or something like that, as long as it doesnt take up my whole attention, but thats where we get back to the distractions).
So, the less distractions, the easier it is to focus on one thing. Problem is that when youre playing online poker, the fact that youre sitting at a computer with an active web connection provides plenty of distractions (how easy is it to just open up the browser and surf around?). So I really dont know if I can extrapolate my schoolwork solution to online poker...
