Are you having trouble
concentrating? Here are some ways to get your focus back on track!
1. 1
Look at what influences concentration. Many issues go far beyond mere laziness into planning and facilitating
(making it happen).2
Get a full night of rest. Sleep
deprivation can make it very difficult to concentrate for a topic for long
periods of time. Make sure you are getting at least eight hours of rest per
night.
2. 3
Remove stress and anxiety producing factors. Worrying about other things, whether they be relationships or friends,
can make it difficult to put those issues aside and focus on your studies. You
may want to consider removing some of these stresses and tackle them head on.
Is your schedule too loaded? Are you dealing with peer pressure? Prioritize your
schedule and develop confidence in your relationships.
3. 4
Adopt a healthier diet. Your body
needs good food in order to keep it running well. Poor diets can be linked to
low energy and depression, which can make it difficult to concentrate. On the
flip side, caffeine can overstimulate you and lead to nervousness.
4. 5
Avoid symptoms of boredom. Boredom
comes from doing something that lacks meaning or motivation to you. Try to find
a way to make your studies more interesting, or at least create good rewards
for yourself that will make you more motivated to finish -- like get a salad to
celebrate.
5. 6
Sublimate: be vigorous and emotional to succeed using anger or even fear of
making a C to motivate practice of skills or study concepts.
1. 1
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.
2. 2
Have a snack nearby. Something
simple like crackers or chips will help your mind stay focused. Don't drink
coffee, tea, or any other energy drinks. They will eventually lead to crash
that makes you feel tired.
3. 3
Have a timetable. Work for
30-60 minute periods with 5-15 minute breaks in between.
4. 4
Embrace your learning: Studying or
practicing for an hour is like a feast of learning or a workout. Tell yourself why
you want to do that.
5. 5
Find a quiet place to study. You want
the room to be silent and free of distractions in order to concentrate. For
example, do not study right in front of a TV because you will only do your
homework when the advertisements come up. Go to get a "snip" of TV or
radio only as a quick break -- exactly as if it's a few moments to go to get a
drink of water. Such entertainment is not a festival, not like a picnic; keep
it simple and quick.
6. 6
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.
7. 7
Consider
playing music softly. For some
people, music helps them concentrate. For some, it doesn't. Try it out and see
what works best for you.
1. 1
Do the least pleasant tasks first. While fresh you can sizzle with the highest powers of concentration at
your disposal. "Do the most critical understandings and deep background
concepts early", before moving on to easier (less challenging) but
necessary grinding out of details. If you do the easier tasks first, you will
be thinking about/and "stressing-nerves" on the harder ones, the
whole time, and feel more tempted to avoid them once you do reach them (at the
end of too much busy-work).
2. 2
Have an objective list. Write out a
list of everything you need to accomplish. Check each items off as you finish
it.
3. 3
The "5 More" rule. Tell
yourself to do only five more things before quitting. Once you've finished
those, do another five. Breaking tasks up into smaller chunks makes
things easier for those with shorter concentration spans.
4. 4
Reward
yourself. Offer yourself incentives once you've completed a
study task. This will improve your motivation and therefore your concentration.

I think that the tips to create a new environment for concentration are more important because if you can't make an environment where you really feel comfortable and not too stress you can't concentrate in what are you doing , this is more than find a good place to study , this is like to find the peace and also a balance , this is your environment where you can be focus, comfortable with everything and not tired and bored. I think that make this environment is the first thing you have to do to concentrate.

I think that the best way to concentrate is when you are able to forget everything else like your friends/family, cell phone and focus on one thing. You have to be organized in your workspace, your time for relaxing or break for few minutes. I think it's better do an schedule to organize all your time.
ReplyDeleteSometimes when I have to study or do my homework I listen soothing music because it helps me concentrate.

Good article teacher, the ways to get concentrate is very important to get success in something that you want to do, following steps, you can make a great environment to concentrate, you have to avoid the distractors, you can follow strict period of study. but i think,the best way to get concentrate starts inside you, motivate yourself is very important, everything depends of you, you have to focus in something specific and have in mind that you can do it if you put of your part.
