One of the most terrifying things on Earth is the period of time when one has to concentrate on nothing,
but that open textbook.
How can you concentrate in a perfect way that won't affect your studies?
1.Take out a piece of rough paper and list the rows from 1-10. Then, before you hit the books,
brainstorm 10 'pros' on why you should concentrate. Don't even think about the 'cons',
because you'll never come up with the 'pros' if you think about the 'cons'.
And, list out the objectives that you'll achieve after your studies.
2.Get everything you need for your revision.
A cup of coffee? Candy? Your teddy bear? Put them within reach so you won't be strolling around the house,
and then being distracted by that cartoon showing on TV.
3.Make a timetable. You can't really concentrate if you read, read, and read again for 24 hours straight.
The best thing is 30-60 minute periods with 5-15 minute breaks in between.
4.Prepare a full set of rough paper, note sheets, stationary, and files.
Have your books and some reference titles nearby.
Don't hop up in the middle of revision to get anything.
5.If you can't seem to get yourself to study, think about what you'll do when you grow up.
Do you want to get a good job as a engineer, doctor, lawyer or work in a dairy or the gas station?
6.Learn how to make mind-maps which can really help during revision.
Use colour pencils and illustrations to make the mind map more interesting.
7.You must have a quite place to study with a bottle of water to keep you energies and a proper lightening in your room.
8.For some people music helps them concentrate.
For some it doesn't.
Try it out and see what you think works best for you.
9.Before ending the session, check your objective list.
Whether you've completed all, or you just half way through.
This will give out motivation. Don't postpone things.
Good Luck!
Tips
* Have a bit of food with you.
# It helps to think about what you'll be doing if you flunk and get an "F" or under 35 marks.
Think about this and it will compel (or "entice") you to do better.
# Put some music on. Classical is the type that can really help with concentration.
Whatever you choose, make sure its not on headphones because that can be distracting.
# It really helps if you eat while you study.
our body needs energy and so does your brain.
