    But what if I can’t study without losing focus?

    If it’s something you truly want to learn, focus isn’t an issue. Source: I have either ADD or ADHD, can’t remember since it’s been decades since diagnosis.

    Can improv comedy help?

    Absolutely. Improv works off of the assumption that neither party knows what will happen next, and so it can be a very engaging form of imaginative exercise.

        It’s still practice, so go for it, but keep in mind that practice makes permanent.

        If you are your only critic, you can’t learn new things or stop doing three things that are holding you back.

        When I’m watching TV, I try to predict what the punchline is going to be. Sometimes I get it spot on, and other times, I think mine is better than what they came up with. It’s not worth any notoriety, but it’s fun creative practice.
