ADHD 4-Axis Analysis
Relationships
You might occasionally zone out during conversations or miss something your partner said. This is very common. For important conversations, put your phone away, make eye contact, and practice active listening.
Mild Attention Scattering Mechanism
Digital Age Attention
Gloria Mark's research shows modern attention spans have dropped to 47 seconds on average. Smartphone notifications, social media, and multitasking are the main culprits.
Sleep-Attention Connection
Less than 6 hours of sleep reduces attention by 30-40%. Chronic sleep deprivation weakens prefrontal cortex function, making you feel more scattered.
Mild Dopamine Fluctuation
Small dopamine bursts from new stimuli (social media, videos) cause attention shifting. This is a normal brain response, but if habitualized, it can affect sustained focus.

Management Guide
The most effective approach is environmental design. Set your phone to airplane mode during focus time, and turn off unnecessary notifications. The "Pomodoro Technique" (25 min focus + 5 min break) is very effective. Ensure 7+ hours of sleep and limit caffeine to before 2 PM.
