Sustained attention

The capacity to stay focused on a task to completion, no matter what.

If this is a strength for you, you may…

be able to screen out distractions to get the job done

complete a task even if it is boring

put off rewarding yourself until it’s done
If this is a challenge for you, you may…

get easily distracted by something else

find it difficult to stay on a task

find it hard to get back into something once distracted

start lots of things and don’t finish them
