I am chartered accountant student. When I first joined the course, everything was as normal as it could be. But now after sometime, whenever I try to concentrate on my studies, I just cant focus on it. Whatever I read, everything just goes out of my brain. It feels like I am a dull person simply reading out the lines that are printed in the book. I really cant get out of this bad habit.....

Maybe you must introspection in your mind. I think accountant it's not the subject you like. You must see from your own mind, what the really kinds o you want. Or you can consul with a psychologist or counselor to found how the effective study for you :D good luck for your study..have a nice day

Greetings, mate :) I think your problem is motivation. If you were well motivated, you wouldn't have a hard time understanding and focusing in studying while you are motivated. I used to have this problem and guess what I did to solve the problem? I shifted courses and now I am happy where I am. What I did was rather extreme and there are other ways to handle it but, shifting courses is a last resort. You could try join or form a study group which will help you stay focused and motivated since your surrounding will be appropriate for learning. If you don't want to try this, go for exercise. You could exercise a bit more and that should make you sharper. Another solution is not really good for people but, eating chocolate while studying. Doctors say Sunflower seeds and nuts help the brain in memorizing and processing new data. If all else fails, you could follow my path by shifting courses :)

I'm sorry to hear that you are having such difficulties. I would suggest taking a brief break and then getting back on schedule. Maybe you are disinterested in the subject area? Maybe you need new direction? Are you good in accounting? I know that accounting can be boring and it is not for everyone! Are you forcing yourself to do something that you will not enjoy long term. These are all things you should be asking yourself now before its too late. If it is already too late, you will have to find a way to reward your efforts. Make a schedule and stick to it and the reward yourself. Those are my best suggestions. Best wishes.
