How do i maintain focus while i study?

Question

When i study for a big test, i always turn off the computer, t.v. etc. And i sit on my desk and read things over, but while i do i always start thinking of other things and get distracted. Im reading it but im thinking of something else, so what im reading doesn't get "recorded" in my mind. So what can i do so i don't get distracted?

Answer 1

I have that exact same problem! Try thinking about how well you will do on that test the next day if you buckle down and study. You can think about the other stuff that's on your mind later, like as you are lying in your bed trying to fall asleep. Think about how not getting distracted will pay off in the end.
