Hey Reddit,

Sorry if I am posting this in the wrong section, but I have a medical/psychology question. I am a 21 year old who is unable to concentrate on anything. From what I noticed, my lack of concentration comes from an inability to not rush. 

A little backstory. I had an older brother with Dyslexia and another older brother with severe learning disability, although I do not know what in particular. When I was a kid, I could pick up things with relative ease. I hated reading(I have only read three books through and through), but I usually followed my gut and, for the most part, got through it. History was by far the easiest, I assume because I could just remember the lectures. Math and English were drags but I always placed mid 70's, which was good enough for me at the time. 

I never really had an issue until I began working a steady job, which called for me to take the occasional phone number from time to time. I would mix up numbers 90% of the time. I never really thought much of it, as I sucked with numbers. Then I wanted to learn more about my trade, design/web development, and realized I can not retain anything. I have read the same chapter about an HTML5 Document several times, but can't remember a damn thing.

I am not really looking for a diagnoses or validation, I am more looking for anything to help me. White noise worked one day a few months back, however all other attempt have been futile. Any one have any advice?

21 year old, can't retain anything, can't pay attention to anything, and can't think on my feet.
