With exams on in full swing, there's no doubt you will be burning the midnight oil. But at the same time, several thoughts crowd your mind — from acing the subjects to planning for vacations. Distractions are aplenty, but there are simple ways to stay focussed.
Organise your study material
Keep all your study material in one place so that you don't have to look for notes at the last minute. This way, you will not waste time once you settle down to study. Breaking the flow and hunting for notes will add to the confusion and disturb your concentration.
Eat healthy
Munch on superfoods when you take breaks. This will boost your energy and keep you motivated. Skipping meals will make you lethargic, so stick to healthy snacking.
Keep gadgets at bay
Putting your phones aside is the key. Instead of putting it on silent mode, it's advisable to switch it off. Staying away from social media will surely do you good. Many studies have suggested that mobiles are a major distraction for students. So, knowing how to stay away from it will solve half your problems.
Do not skip sleep
Cutting down on sleep and increasing your study time is not the best way to complete your portion. Strategic planning and segregating your lessons will lead to quality studying. It will also give you enough time to sleep, rest and wake up fresh.
Make notes
To make sure you concentrate while studying, take notes whenever necessary. This will keep you active and decrease your chances of falling asleep. Reading your lessons aloud will also help you concentrate better.
Take breaks
Long study hours will do you no good. Both your body and mind need breaks. Instead, make your time-table in such a way that you get sufficient breathers. And to relax your mind, listen to soothing music.
