2. Mind Dump

 

Whenever you are doing studies, if you feel distracted and want to use your phone or watch television, then at that moment, just stop and write down the thing which is bothering you on a piece of paper.

like I want to watch television
I want to scroll through Instagram.

In this technique, you are taking that thing out of your mind and dumping it down on a piece of paper.
Then after that, just ask yourself a simple question: What is written here is more important than my career?
Is it more important than my study goal?
and every time you avoid distraction and get back to study, put across in front of it, and by doing this, you will feel the proud moment because you will feel like you just fought your distraction and you're getting back to study and avoiding your distraction

3) Block-It



People will say that you should switch off your phone while studying, but sometimes we need a phone to look up some answers on Google or find the meaning of a word. Sometimes we even need a phone for some scientific calculation. Then what would you do in that case?

Sometimes, we go on YouTube to solve a maths problem but end up watching a funny video. We don't even remember when we click on that video.



For stopping all things to happen, you can download some app lock, phone lock type of apps to block the unwanted social media notification and pop up so that you don't end up your time randomly scrolling.
Nowadays, many phones have this feature named focus mode to turn on the apps you will need during studies and block the rest of the apps.

4) Recency effect/ microbreak



The thing which helps us to retain our concentration for a long time is the recency effect.

According to research, our concentration during the starting and ending phase of studying is the highest whenever we start to study. Still, during the mid part of the study time, it becomes lowest, and we get distracted.
And to save us from distraction, we will take microbreaks during a study session.



What is the micro-break?
A micro-break is considered a break for a short time, like a 1-minute or 5 minutes one.
After every 25 minutes of studying, you will take a break of 5 minutes or 1 minute according to your schedule, and during this micro-break, you will do a specific thing: to look at nature, look at greenery.

If you live in an urban city and there are no plants or trees available to look into, then you can search for some greenery or nature images on Google.

I know you will find this very funny, but according to psychology research by Melbourne University, just looking at nature can help your brain work better; it helps a lot in focus.
