Thread: Question about ADA?

I have a question about ADA. I have been practicing ADA, and I understand that the main long term goal of ADA is to have complete awareness of your surroundings, all the time. I know that it is difficult to achieve awareness all the time, but I have been having trouble doing it for even a little bit.

Whenever I do a reality check or just happen to think about awareness or LDing, I am reminded to start being aware of my surroundings. However, this does not last very long, as it requires full concentration. I only end up having awareness of me and my surrounding for a couple minutes at most.

I feel like the main reason for this is because I am doing something else that requires concentration. I can not have full concentration on ADA and something else at the same time. For example, if I am practicing guitar, that is something that requires my full concentration. How can I concentrate on guitar and awareness at the same time? Or even if I am doing something on my computer, I just can not seem to keep awareness.

So is this a thing that is able to be overcome? Is it possible to have concentration on my awareness at the same time I am doing something else that requires concentration?
