Best tips to focus while studying


1. Decide that you are going to study and get down to business immediately. Do not think about anything      else that is not study-related. If you are working on a computer, do not surf the Internet to play computer games or watch videos on YouTube. Avoid Facebook at all costs.


2. Plan ahead. A plan helps you get back on track. Having a ready planned schedule helps you to stay focused instead of wondering what are you going to do next. Also, do a survey to get an overview of what you need to do. Identify:

1. • Which books to read from cover to cover?
   • Which materials to study in detail?
   • Which materials to cover only selected sections or portions?
   • Amongst so many subjects to study, which are priorities and urgent?
   • How much time you have to allocate?

3.  Identify the reason why you cannot focus. Often it will be things that are simple to remove, for example Facebook, your cell phone, TV, music, the mess on your desktop, etc. But there may as well be psychological reasons for your lack of focus, which can be harder to identify and harder to remove. You can tell your school teacher or your parents about your problem. They will find ways to help you. Common reasons are:

• Not being prepared to read and study
• A lack of interest in the material
• The material is too difficult
• A lack of motivation
• A lack of suitable goal

4. Get rid of these elements that prevent you from focusing.i.e. all those things which divert your mind

5. Set dateline and focus on tackling one tasks at a time. This helps you to focus better.

6. Eat, drink, or use the bathroom BEFORE you start with work.

7. Restrict internet use to relevant topics only (Wikipedia, wikiHow, Ask.com, online journals, etc. - no Facebook, MySpace, blogs or surfing) 

8. Study in a well lit area. Trying to read in the dark is not good for you

9. Don't expect that the feeling of being focused will come automatically, just because you've done the above mentioned steps. One key to become focused is to like what you are doing, a feeling of wanting to know more about the subject. So if it's not your favourite subject that you're going to study, you will have to convince yourself that the subject is interesting. You may find it hard at first, but once you learn the value of investing interest in your studies the less you will have to force yourself to focus.

10. Studies show that the average person focuses best when holding at 15 minutes after each 45 minutes of studying. So relax and don't press yourself way too hard in the beginning

11. Allocate time to reflect on what is being learnt.

ONLY ONE THING TO SAY, JUST BIND YOURSELF IN IT...

IT'S BETTER FOR YOU..
