How to concentrate on studies?

                Are you having trouble concentrating on your studies? Well, don't worry – it happens to the best of students. To concentrate on your studies, you may just need to shake up your study patterns, study in a quieter place free of outside distraction, try a new technique, or simply come up with a really effective study plan that allows your mind breaks as often as you need. Experiment until you find what works for you. With the right set-up, concentrating should be easier.

1) Choose the right spot.

                A quiet place with a suitable environment. Whether it is your room or a library, choose an atmosphere that is silent & free of distractions in order to concentrate. It should be away from the TV, pets, and anything else. What's more, you want a comfotable chair and good lighting. There should be no strain on your back, neck, or eyes – pain is also a distraction.

2) Have everything you need to study.

              Your pencils and pens, highlighters and books should be within your reach so that you are not distracted while studying

3) Have a snack nearby.

             Try to keep it to something simple that you can repeat, like a few nuts, chocolate bar. Keep water nearby, too.

4) Make sure your cell phone and other electronic devices are turned off.

             This will help you avoid temptations to be off-task and allow you to stay on your plan. Only use your computer, if you need it for your studies; otherwise, it's just an unnecessary risk. As for your phone – put it in airplane mode unless you need it on for an emergency.

5) Make a timetable.

             If you have a long night of studying ahead of you, make a plan for the day. Aim to work for 30-60 minute periods with 5-10 minute breaks in between. Your brain needs the break to recharge. It's not laziness.

6) Set aside time to worry or think about other things.

             We feel like we don't have control over our thoughts, but we do. Tell yourself that you'll think about that problem or that girl or boy when you're finished.

7) Make notes on the concepts, characters, plots, or events described.

             Use as few words as possible and brief examples to tell what you mean to say. Abbreviate the spellings of what you write in your notes. Note page numbers, titles and authors of  books

8) Get enough sleep.

             The benefits of sleep are practically innumerable. Not only are your hormones regulated and information synthesized, but it helps you fire on all worksin the next day, too.

9)Eat healthy.

             You are what you eat after all, and if you eat healthy, your mind will be healthy, too. Aim to eat your favourite colourful fruits and vegetables.

10) Follow all the concentration steps and tips.

            Study is such an important part of  life and to learn how to maintain good focus and concentration is a lifelong skill. So follow all the concentration steps and tips.
