TIME WILL GO FAST SO STAY FOCUSED
WAYS TO STAY FOCUSED ON YOUR STUDIES
Have everything you need to study
Your all study material should be within your reach so that you are not distracted while studying. Organize the area, if need, so the clutter doesn't clutter your mind. There should be no reason you have to get up, interrupting you from being "in the zone."
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. Only use your computer, if you need it for your studies. As for your phone – put it in airplane mode unless you need it on.
Do the least pleasant tasks first
While fresh, you can sizzle with the highest powers of concentration at your disposal. Do the most critical and deep background concepts early before moving onto easier (less challenging) but necessary grinding out of details. If you do the easier tasks first, you will be thinking about and stressing about the harder ones the whole time, reducing your productivity and ability to focus.
Change topics
Changing the subject you study every one to two hours for variety
Try to switch subjects every hour or so, too, to prevent yourself from getting bored and saturating your mind. Too much of one subject and your brain will start going on autopilot. A new subject will wake up your mind and your motivation.
Take regular breaks
Do something different from what you've been doing (e.g., walk around if you've been sitting), If you have a long night of studying ahead of you, make a plan for the day. Aim to work for 30-60 minute periods with 5-10 minute breaks in between. Your brain needs the break to recharge. It's not laziness – it's letting your brain synthesize the information
Learn to say no
Now, I am not asking you to give up all your social activities, but you have to take some bold steps. If you dine out daily, it is better to limit this to one day per week, which will help you save some money as well. If you go to the cinema every week, try to cut down to once a fortnight. If someone is asking you to accompany them to hang out at the mall when you know you should be studying, tell them you’re busy – and let them know when would be a better time. In short: learn to say no when you know you really should.
Eat healthy
You are what you eat after all, and if you eat healthy, your mind will be healthy, too. Aim to eat your favourite colourful fruits and veggies, whole grains, nuts (not greasy fries/chips and fattening candy), and good fats, like the ones in dark chocolate and olive oil. A healthy diet will keep you more energized and make it easier to put your mind to the test. Avoid white foods like white bread, potatoes, flour, grease and sugar. They're just "dead" foods and sugary drinks that cause you to crash at study time.
Get enough sleep
The benefits of sleep are practically innumerable. Not only are your hormones regulated and information synthesized, but it helps you fire on all pistons the next day, too. In fact, trying to focus while overly tired is physically similar to trying to focus while drunk.
