Re: Concentration in Study

"All play and no work." this was my motto, I use to jump off the 2nd floor window just to play cricket, regardless where it was played. THings have turned around now....

Studies well I use to do all of this but not groceries...etc well attitude would be "I'll do this [listen to music] and then study for my test/exam."

Well I realize I need to change this if I want good grades, some are smart some are hard working I am the latter so I seeked help from my prof's and friends, to sum up

start with reading books straight 30/45 minutes ----> apply same for your education/courses.

create enviornment, and always remember bed is for sleeping and not studying at all, go to the library/ study hall with enough noise/ loudness to keep you awake, do that on daily basis.

Dont push yourself according to the timetable, coz I think that is for those ppl who start cleaning the whole room if they see a bit of dust on their side table, are you 1 of those ppl?

you said you want stability in Concentration...hmhmm this is pretty easy "Advance reading"
if you know what the prof is teaching in the next class, do advance reading on that course/topic or subject, give yourself 60 minutes (for every 25 minutes of studies give yourself 5 minutes of relaxation [song,/anything].)

oh yea Imp thing, Night owl or early Brid? I go with Night owl so apply that advance reading before you go to bed coz I know you will get up 10-15 before the class ;)

P.S: if you dont exercise start doing it 3 times a week for only 15 minutes, it makes a hell of a difference to your body and mind.
Goodluck :)

Re: Concentration in Study

Are you just starting (re-starting probably) willy nilly or is there some target you want to get to? For example, is there an SAT/MLE/GMAT/GRE that you plan to write, or may be some college entrance. You have to have a target at which you can aim for. Some kind of deadline that will motivate you.

Re: Concentration in Study

oh bhai Jais pehlay bolna tha yaar you are preparing for TOEFL
ok thats a different thing

1) do you have tv cable?
2) Does an english newspaper comes to your home?
3) Buy Times, Newsweek 4/5 copies each of the magazines.

watch comedy shows, not just watch them - try to understand the jokes and what they are talking about its only 30 minutes, read english newspaper while having your breakfast, note down the word that fly over your head and underneath your pair

read times and newsweek, one article of each per day. and then concentrate on your TOEFL books .
