A human can surprisingly only concentrate for about 20 minutes!!!!!

The amount of time that a human can concentrate varies. If the person is interested in a subject their concentration lasts longer than if they weren't interested. If they have had enough sleep, meeting dietary requirements, and other stimuli in the immediate vicinity all affect concentration time. The amount of time that the average person can focus on one specific thing is about 20 minutes though, and that means one static thing (like a math problem). Think of movies; you can concentrate on a movie for a full 2 hours, but that's because you're concentrating on different things as the movie progresses.
