Concentrate

How can i concentrate on my studies?

You must train yourself. As soon as you think about something else, immediately change your thought on your studies. Keep doing this over and over. I like to put a small sign on my hand with pen and whenever I see that it reminds me to think about my studies and get back on it.

Prep your mind to concentrate. It's like warming up before a race.

As another person said, exercise is good to help concentration, a little light exercise before going to work, or even just a brisk walk around the block when you get there before entering the building.

There was also a recent study that school kids did much better at concentrating in class when they chew gum. If there isn't a rule against it at work, you could try chewing sugarless gum and see if it improves your focus.

I've also used an exercise before things I have to concentrate on called "magic key". It's just a little game that gets you focused and can calm your mind and help concentrate. You tie a key or a ring or a pendant on the end of a string, and dangle it above a surface and concentrate on it. You try to make it swing in a particular direction with your mind. After a minute or so the key starts swinging in the right direction - but not really by magic. It just seems that way. Your body just responds to your mind in subconscious ways.

Start out slow. Make an out line about what topics you would like to cover in what paragraphs for your report. Then, find a quiet place to study. If you don't have a library near by, then sit in a room that you find very plain. That way, you don't have anything to distract you. Don't listen to music, unless its at a very low volume. Also, don't sit somewhere where people will walk by. Tell family members not to bother you and put on some outside noise blocking headphones. This way you should be able to hear only your thoughts and focus on your paper.
