Concentration

Hey guys, so how do u guys concentrate when u are studying. My mind always wanders off and then I realise that I havent learnt anything. I need to concentrate, so any one got any tips on better concentration?

Re: Concentration

*Think. Think of where you will be in five years. Ten years. Fifteen years. Will you ever be able to get a job? Will you ever be able to support your family? Will you?

You need motivation to concentrate; you just f'ing got it!*

One way that works for me is to put a time-limit for each single page i read. Say, i will finish up each page in 5-8 mins (depends on how wordy or technical it is). Then i try to come up with what important points did i learn in a session, and write them somewhere. Basically, attempting for "speed-reading" and the ultimate goal of reproducing/writing it, helps me.

I think it depends on how much you make urself feel urgent/important about the text at hand. For example, during exams we finish-up multiple chapters in one day, which is because we put much concentration due to pressure, i believe. So try to simulate exams type feelings in you ... that might work.

I face the same issue.

Did you try studying with someone who studies a lot? Like just sit at their table and maybe it will motivate you?
