Going back to university to take the exams I've been dreading.

I hardly feel prepared, but I dont know if any amount of studying would've made me feel prepared. Missed my dorm, missed going to the library to study, so these are gonna be a few bittersweet days!

What do you do to prepare for exams?

7/100 days of productivity

Study for what you love and it will never feel like studying.

I tried all semester long to stay afloat with the courses as to not be overwhelmed during exam season

Now the exams started and I'm able to enjoy learning about things that I'm passionate about

5/6 exams to go (i absolutely nailed the first one)

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.
