Eliminate distractions : find a quiet environment with minimal noise and interruptions. You can also turn of notifications on devices or use apps to blocks distracting websites.
Set clear goals : define specific, achievable objectives for each study session. For example : "I will read and take notes on MAT037 Chapter 3 and 4 in 45 minutes".
Time management : use techniques like the Pomodoro Technique (work for 25 minutes, take 5 minutes break). Schedule regular breaks to avoid mental fatigue.
Prioritize tasks : tackle the most challenging or important tasks when your energy and focus are at their peak (e.g., in the morning )
Active engagement : actively participate in learning by taking notes, asking questions, or summarizing information. Avoid passive activities, such as re-reading without understanding.
Organize study materials : keep all necessary materials (e.g., books, notes, pens) organized and within reach to avoid any unnecessary interruptions.
Maintain physical wellness : get adequate sleep, eat nutritious meals, and stay hydrated to support cognitive function. Exercise regularly to improve concentration and reduce stress.
By implementing these strategies, you can stay focused on tasks for longer periods, reduce procrastination and improve productivity and learning outcomes.
