Thank your generation for this inability to focus.



What do you do if you're not studying? Are you just sitting there with the book trying or are you on youtube or w.e?

Interesting how a simple issue in a simple post can totally diverge into a heated back and forth debate. lol

Well, to OP, it's almost useless asking others how they focus and study for exams because everyone is different. All you can really do is motivate yourself, yourself; others can't do that for you. If you're spending time on Youtube, no one from here will physically come and close it down for you and put your heard in books..its only you who can do that. In fact, posting here to ask how to focus is taking an additional step to distract yourself even further by initiating a thread you'll be checking every other minute for replies.

So, idenitify what you're doing right now instead of studying, get rid of that and study instead - simple.
Lastly, realizing that this moment/time right here will never come back so might as well just study and make use of it is enough to keep you going.


P.S. exams make even staring at your desktop wallpaper for about 1.5 hrs amazingly interesting - true story.

Where do you study best? I've been sitting on my room doing nothing all day, so I know not to stay in my room for the next 2 weeks! Also, having a to-do list really helps, e.g. I'll get chapters x and y done in ___ amount of time.. And stick to it. Be reasonable but also track your time so you don't fall too behind.

I'm starting tomorrow.. so I'll let you know how that goes
