I just can't concentrate on my studies.. what should i do??

I think you should begin now! You'll see --- once you start, it will be easier to continue. I also suggest that you should track your progress by placing check marks or crossing out the items in your coverage that you have already studied. Try to reward yourself for every achievement and don't forget to get enough sleep, so you can concentrate on what you are reading. If these still doesn't help you, get a friend to be your accountability partner and discuss your goals with him/her. That way, he/she can help you go through every step of the way and remind you of the goals you have set to achieve. You can do it!

I've always had problems like that ... ALWAYS , and I know they're not that easy to get rid of... Well , you can think about what would happen if you didn't study at all and I guess that will start your engine at least a little bit. And if you're not a studying machine like some people are you can just study half an hour a day , bit by bit and I'm sure you'll get used to it after a week or so and start going hardcore and you'll pass the exam . I'm not really a pro because just like you I always have a hard time starting to study and always tend to keep pushing problems away until they start busting trough my door and climb up my windows... Good luck!

stop wondering and start believing that you have to study. Thats gonna help you. Studying after a long gap reduces interest a great deal. Stick to the subject even if you feel it boring for a while. After some time you will definitely gain interest.

Get your internet disconnected :p Really :p

Give yourself a small amount to do at a time. Rather than 2 hours a day, think that you will do 20 min before breakfast, 20 min before you allow yourself on the internet, etc. 20 min doesn't seem so bad. Also, read your texts while you eat something that you can eat with one hand, like cereal, and if you have to go anywhere where you will be waiting (doctors office) or on the bus, bring your study books. If your only choice is study or be bored doing nothing, you are more likely to study!

you know what, i know how it feels. want some suggestion? i survived that condition just by always thinking MY DREAMS AND GOALS in life. i always put on my mind that if i won't study i won't be the woman i'm dreaming of and stuffs like that. but if you want something more technical, just enjoy it 'coz you'll need to live with it for half the rest of your life.

The best thing to do when you can't concentrate is to outline your chapters, with the most important things. By outlining you are saving the most important items, and you also are retaining it without having to concentrate. Good luck.

hey friend just try to concentrate as much as you can.If you are not able to do that then of the consequences if you are not able to get good marks in your exams.Just try to live those moments then you will realize that yes i would have studied hard.then come back to reality, you will feel like yes i have time in my hand i can do it!! Hope this will help you.

Well first of all I'm not the one to talk because I've always been lazy not just in studying but in a lot of things. Haha! But tell you what, when I finally want to get serious in studying, I just take a deep breath, put off other things in my mind, and focus only on what I should study. Of course it's easier said than done, but you should try out things that makes you comfortable, like for example, I listen to music whenever I study. Usually I lie down but other people tend to fall asleep that way so find out if it also works for you as it does for me. Regarding the music, I usually listen to rock so I am accustomed to studying with it. If you don't like rock, try to listen to upbeat or groovy kind of music because I heard from my Psych professor that it tends to get things done easily and fast (because you flow with the beat of it). And when you study at night, try to drink lots of water, it keeps you awake (because it makes you go to the bathroom once in while. Haha.) So I think that's it. Good luck to you! ;)

I am like that sometimes too- whenever I just look at the stuff I need to study, I feel tired already. All you need to do is just start studying, open a book and read, sooner or later you'll get into it. Good Luck with your exam.

Hi dear, Hope you will read the lengthy passage!! If you are lazy and cannot concentrate, we are helpless and whatever we say make no good. It is you need to appear the exam and you SHOULD be serious on it. Even though it may not be serious or decisive exam, but exams are always exams it can perhaps make your future to change. If you REALLY want to appear and succeed the exam, your cooperation for yourself is important. By attempting the exam, you are not going to satisfy anyone else, it net effect is not sharing with anybody, it is 100% for yourself. Whatever exam you are appearing, should consider so seriously and as you are grown up, you need to understand the importance and worldly issues as well. Time will not wait for any one and such a clear situation may not come again for it. Your time, effort, hard work, money, chances - all will get unfulfilled if you become lazy now. LAZYNESS is the root cause of many failures. Realise that the world around is so competitive and your laziness may someone else to come into your place. Always remember that what is to be done for today, it should do today itself and not keep it for tomorrow. Again, tomorrow we have thing of tomorrow’s work and doing 2 days on one day make us over loaded. Please understand what I mean to say. You may need to make some extra efforts. Whatever it is, just for 1 month and if you could spend this time more concentrated, perhaps, you can make more years and month more enjoyable. I still remember, so many years before there was a bank test I supposed to appear and it was a remote town I need to go. It was a public exam and schedule on a Sunday. When I reached the town I understood that I forget the photograph which is supposed to be affixed on the Hall Ticket. The timing was 11:00 am. I looked for some studios around and nobody was willing to give the photo is within 30 mts. One guy asked some extra cash and he said he can give the photographs within 15 mts. I refused to pay the extra coins and I didn’t appeared the exam. Even though I gone to the exam centre, without the photograph on the hall ticked, examiner didn’t allow me to appear the exam and I returned and gone for some musical program and did not inform the same at home. In fact there was some government stay order to stop the exam on the day and ignoring the stay order the bankers conducted the exam. As this was the case, 99% of the candidate appeared for the exam were passed and my brother who took all initiatives for me to exam was so happy that I also must be passed. As he was in an another branch of the bank, the manager told him that he must have cleared we can try his appointment on the same city itself. Finally, when my brother come to know about the truth, he become so terrible. Because, if we need to get a job we need to bribe, give heavy amounts, etc and here all could have saved. However, my careless and laziness made me nowhere and had to wait for another 3 years to get a simple job. If I had the will and wish and been serious about my life, I could have a branch manager within 4-5 years. All got wasted. May be fate. But we all blame the fate on our wrong doings. Here now, you have to decide how serious you should be and you should know that you are playing with your future. If this is any other discussion topic, I will not write more than 3-4 lines. But such topics and discussion, I want to write more and make you like people more responsible, because I am an experienced person in is matter, especially, carelessness and laziness. Now all upto you what to do. What I want to tell you is commented and I hope you understand why I write so much. Earlier also I wrote pages like this and the girl was so happy and she followed each and every word and she become more responsible and she always used to send PMs to me saying that my words had some magnetic power and because of my words, she could major changes in her life. She thanked me. She is happy now and even I am also happy. Now you can decide how lazy you want. Take a strong decision and go ahead. Please assume that what all may be happening around is nothing for you, and I will study and study and will succeed in the exam and I want to pass the exam at whatever cost. I don’t know who you are and you don’t know me also. But we want results, regardless of who I am and who you are. Concentrate and study well. If you have a will, there is a way. It is an old saying, but there is strong meaning behind it. Try to understand. Wish you all the best in the New Year. And all the very best in all your attempts. (If possible, please change the avatar photo, it don't look positive. When I saw the avatar, I simply ignore it. But your topic persuaded me to answer you). Thank-s

To motivate you think how much of an idiot you'd look like if you keep up you non studying habit. I got diagnosed with ADHD in college and it explains a lot of my academic history which at times has been stellar and at other times not so much. Medication really helped when I was on it but I can no longer take it for health reasons. I find that studying in the morning before anything is really on my mind is good. Also a cup of coffee can help me concentrate a little more.

hi, to concentrate with your exam, lessen your time for watching television, playing outside with your friends. and read/review your notes every morning after you woke up.

When I cannot concentrate on study before important exams. I will say to myself the exam is very significant , you must come down and try your best to prepare for it. If you can try your best to prepare, you still have chances. but if you don't prepare, the chance of getting a good result is zero. Personally speaking, I think sometimes a little pressure can help you.
