I have a problem where when I try to do a math calculation for my homeschooling. I cannot manage because something in my brain shuts off. It's difficult to describe, but when I try to solve the problem, it just....doesn't happen. It's like I'm missing a limb or something, only I'm missing a part of my brain. It will come back if I wait long enough, but it often takes hours, and roughly 1 minute after it comes back online and I start working again, it will shut off again and I will once again lose it.

I discovered that this is happening to me because of the math stressing me out. I discovered that if I played a video game for a few seconds, it turned back on again! By alternating between math and the game (about 1 minute for math, and about 30 seconds for the game) I was able to actually get some math work done, and a considerable amount too. Basically, as soon as it shuts off, I play my game for a few seconds, and comes back, and I can keep going. It ends up being like dipping a pen in ink.

Lemme know if this works for you guys. :)
