7 . How to Improve Your Focus
Studying is a skill you can improve, just like any other. In fact, your focus plays the most important role in it. Here are some effective ways to improve your focus.
Make sure the TV and radio are off. Turn your phone on silent. If you don’t need the Internet for your studying, turn your WiFi off so you won’t get distracted (分心).
Study one subject at a time instead of multi-tasking
Studies have shown that multi-tasking is not only ineffective but also stressful. You can get much more fun out of a task if you focus on it and do a good job.
Reading to study isn’t like reading a novel for fun. You have to make sure you are actively focusing on and remembering the information. As you read the material, ask yourself about what you’ve just read to check your comprehension (理解力). Take notes by writing down the chapter headings and then make a few bullet points for each one with key information.
Take an active break at least every hour.
After an hour of sitting and studying, get up and take a little break. Try to make the break last about 10 minutes so that you can go back to studying better.
Sleep is the best ingredient (要素) to help you focus. Staying up late studying on school nights is not a good idea for long-term success. Lack of sleep prevents you from focusing and reduces your ability to remember what you have learned.
A.Stay organized with a study schedule. |
B.Make sure you get enough sleep every night. |
C.Ask yourself questions as you read and take notes. |
D.Avoid distractions by limiting electronics (电子产品). |
