Ace Excellence: Tips To Increase Concentration For Students

As a student, maintaining focus and increasing concentration in studies is essential to achieving academic success. Unfortunately, distractions can easily get in the way, making it challenging to focus on studies. If you struggle with concentration, don’t worry; you’re not alone. In this blog post, we’ll explore some techniques to increase your concentration in studies and achieve better results.

What is concentration/focus?

Concentration is the ability to focus your attention on a particular task or object for an extended period. It is a cognitive process that requires attention and control of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviour. It is a crucial aspect of learning and helps you retain information better, understand concepts more clearly, and solve problems more effectively.

Concentration tips for studying:

Take breaks: Studying for long hours can be exhausting, making it difficult to maintain concentration. Taking regular breaks can help you stay alert and focused for longer. Try studying for 25-30 minutes and taking a 5-10 minute break. Use this time to stretch, move around, or take a quick nap.

Eliminate distractions: Distractions can easily disrupt your concentration. Turn off your phone, shut down your email, and avoid social media while studying. Find a quiet place to study, free from noise and other distractions.

Practice mindfulness: Mindfulness is a technique that involves paying attention to the present moment without judgement. It can help you improve concentration by training your brain to focus on the task at hand. Try practicing mindfulness for a few minutes every day, focusing on your breath or a specific object.

Use active recall: Active recall is a technique that involves retrieving information from memory, which can help improve retention and concentration. Instead of rereading notes or textbooks, try quizzing yourself or explaining the material to someone else.

Listen to music: Listening to music can help improve concentration by blocking out distractions and reducing stress. Choose music that is instrumental and has a slow tempo to create a calming environment.

Exercise: Exercise can help improve concentration by increasing blood flow to the brain and reducing stress. Try incorporating regular exercise into your routine, such as going for a walk or jog, doing yoga, or hitting the gym.

Get enough sleep: Sleep is essential for cognitive function, and getting enough rest can help improve concentration. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night and establish a regular sleep schedule to promote better sleep.

Stay hydrated: Dehydration can lead to fatigue and decreased cognitive function, making it challenging to maintain concentration. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and alert.

Practice good nutrition: A healthy diet can help improve cognitive function and concentration. Incorporate nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins into your diet.

Time when your brain is most active:

The time of day when your brain is most active can also affect your concentration. For most people, the brain is most active in the morning, making it an ideal time to study. However, everyone’s body clock is different, and some people may function better in the afternoon or evening. It’s essential to identify the time of day when you’re most alert and plan your study schedule accordingly.

Conclusion

In conclusion, maintaining concentration is essential for academic success. By implementing the techniques mentioned above, you can increase concentration in studies and achieve better results. Remember to take regular breaks, eliminate distractions, practice mindfulness, use active recall, and listen to music. Additionally, identify the time of day when your brain is most active and plan your study schedule accordingly. With these tips, you’ll be able to increase your concentration in studies and reach your academic goals.

Exam season is officially over for me!

I started studying during the year, trying to stay afloat (towards the end it was a bit too much too soon for me), and when exam season started i tried to be kind to myself.

I never gave up reading fantasy books, watching sports, going out with friends; if i got home late at night, tired after a day of studying out, i just went to bed, even though i could've forced some more studying.

It felt like i could've pushed more, spent more time going over the courses, but it was enough - i prioritized myself, avoided burnout, made studying more enjoyable and it all paid off.

This is me temporarily signing off

- a student who passed all of her exams with flying colors

You can do this too.

I finished last night very late, but still I woke up energized, which I find strange. I took the exam well and I am sure of my answer, but some girls said that the answer to the questions is C and not B, but I am still sure of what I wrote. I mean, I know the result before I even start solving, so how Am I wrong?! ...Anyway, tomorrow is the last exam, which is a computer exam, and I will be able to sit for a week before the start of my practical exams.

So ! :

1.sleep for three hours

2.Study past computer tests

3.Washing accumulated dishes

I spent the whole day sleeping, eating and watching dexter in between sleep because I’m from duty. I managed to get myself out of bed and dragged myself to a coffee shop to study because! I feel like I’m not studying enough 😭 anyhow, will stay here longer! to more studying, to more disciplined routine, to kindness.

Got a new book today!

It's for a course i highly dislike, but the excitement of having a new book motivates me enough to study. It was a cold day outside, and I got to snuggle with a cat on our porch. Exams are closing in on me, but I have yet to panick about it :)

5/100 days of productivity

Every page you read is a step closer to your dreams
