Tips for staying focused while studying??

article image placeholderUploaded by @JonathanGossett
Hello everyone. It is Jonathan. I hope you're all doing well. It is a Friday night here at the University of Illinois and I am currently in my dorm and I am deciding to stay in for the night and study rather than going out and socialize like I usually do in the the weekends. But I am struggling to stay motivated and focused on my studying

So then I'm just like, oh, I shouldn't do it. I think I need peer pressure to study, basically. And then coffee shops are also a nice place where it's like, I can reward myself, like, getting a coffee, because I read 2000 pages of this reading that I was supposed to read, like, two weeks ago and, like, taking notes and studying. Also snacks motivate me

You know that I'm going to complete this within 1 hour or 2 hours so that is what you want to calculate like calculate your time when you go to study that is also very important and I think one thing that helps while studying for me in my case is when I love what I am studying when I get indulged into it. So I love my subject when I study I really find it interesting

Hey, Jonathan. Yeah, that happens to me all the time, too. Like, I'll tell myself that I'm staying in to study and whatnot, and then all of a sudden it's like 09:00 P.m. And all I've done is, like, scroll through TikTok endlessly for hours or, like, organize my room. So one tip that I can give that has really helped me is just, like, finding a spot on campus

Hi Jonathan. I think this is the problem of every student mind too. So I have a trick to concentrate on your studies better. And the trick is 21 days. You just have to concentrate and do whatever you can to set properly to first you're studying and of course, you can Google the trick. Google can explain you better than me. So yeah, you can try it

It's do because it's hard to concentrate for that long of a time and it's better to process all the information after a nice break. Let it all sink in

But you yeah, getting out of your dorm room, I think for me at least, is always the first step for me to get my mind in check and really focus on what I need to be focusing on because there are so many distractions in my room. So, yeah, there's my piece of advice somewhere on campus that helps you focus

Another thing if you don't want to go out is I will leave my textbooks out or my homework out so that I see it and I'm reminded to do it. And that kind of motivates me to get started on it because then once I'm done with it, I can put it away and I don't have to think about it anymore. Yeah

And especially too I notice sometimes I'll go for hours and hours doing my work and I'll just be so burnt out. And I think it's important. And when you're doing your work, just to take these little small breaks in between just to take care of yourself more and just realize that it's okay to just take these breaks here in between

Like, I'm a really okay guy, if you haven't noticed. Trying to stay focused is, like, really hard for me sometimes. And if I stay focused for a very long time, I'm just in the zone. And I really don't like to be bothered when I'm in the zone, because it's literally something that I really need to understand a lot more often. Thank you

And within half an hour, if I don't finish this topic, if I have an exam coming up, I will move on to the next topic. I will not stay there and waste my time if I have an exam next day. Otherwise, I will give myself a five minute break. And when I say five minutes, a five minute break. And then continue to make myself understand the topic within 15 minutes if I can't. And then I move on to the next topic
