If students are distracted while studying, they find it very difficult to study. However, the advantage of focused reading is that you find it easier to read and you can read more in less time. Therefore, creating an ideal environment for learning is most important.
Unlocking the Secrets to Effective Studying
Choice of location
First, choose the best place to create a study environment. Your bedroom or lounge may not always be the best place. Find a nice and quiet place, with a large table and chair. Do not place TVs, computers or cell phones near this area. If you do not even think about social media, you have to stay away from social media. A library can be a good place because there is total silence.
Study material nearby
Wherever you sit to study, make sure you have all the study material with you. Lest you sit down to read and keep searching for pens, highlighters, etc. while reading. Doing so is distracting and wastes time, so sit down with everything you need.
Tips on How to Stay Focused
Study with a friend
Study with a friend who is smart, intelligent and serious about studying. Both of you can discuss topics from different perspectives and help each other learn something complex. Don't sit down to study with your best friend at all, you'll probably end up wasting time on small talk. If you like to study alone, then it is better to study alone.
Foodstuffs
Avoid energy drinks and coffee while studying because sooner or later you will lose concentration under their influence. Chocolate bars, fruit and water are ideal for this, to replenish your energy expenditure.
A short break
Study break is like charging your mobile, take a 10 minute break every 45 minutes and do some different activities. Taking a break will refresh your mind again but this break should not be more than 20 minutes. You can also set an alarm to keep track of time. If you get used to study time with alarm then you won't have to spend much time studying or memorizing anything. Your mind also needs to be recharged while studying because it cannot store a lot of information at once.
Motivate yourself
If you have done the exam preparation and revision process well, then it will not be difficult for you to crack the exam. Don't think of the exam as a big battle, just think of it as a challenge and you are facing it for the purpose of learning. Set yourself a goal for the exam, no matter how unrealistic it is. However, push yourself to do better and you can easily do it. You may achieve more than your target.
Start studying
All the above points are understood and you have followed them, now it is time to sit back and read with satisfaction. Keep your notes and books in front of you in order. If something is difficult to understand, make signs of it, associate it with a song, event, or word, and put it in your mind. If there are many headings, make their abbreviation (Abbreviation). First of all, keep in mind the compulsory or important subjects and also the most important topics in them. After memorizing, rewrite them and fill in the gaps.
Don't make mistakes
When you are nervous, you make mistakes, so try to stay calm. If you have repeated the syllabus well, then you don't need to worry about the exams. Most of the students just worry but do not prepare for the exams. Don't panic at the thought of the exam, just take a deep breath and say to yourself, “I can do this!” and then calmly start studying.
Less computer use
Do not use the internet unless needed, turn off the internet in mobile phones as well. You learn best when you write something with your own hand. Keep your phone away from you because if the phone is passed, you will start a conversation with some friend and thus your mind will wander. Try to focus your attention only on the books or study material while studying, do not wander around on the computer or mobile phone.
Do not play music
By the way, soft music helps in studying, but if the music is distracting, then avoid background music.
