How to Concentrate During Your Study Time

Study time is an essential factor in learning your lessons. It requires you to concentrate and focus your mind. Concentration is very important because without this you cannot absorb what you are reading. But in reality many of us while trying to concentrate are occupied with some other thoughts. It could be the latest movie, a basketball game or even your personal life. Sometimes problems could also interfere with our concentration.

To free yourself with the aforesaid distractions, it is a must for you to acquire a skill of discipline and self-control. Remember it is you who has the power to make things or to make it not happen. Hence when its time to study, you must take charge of the things around you or in the place where you study. This means you should have a study table, enough lightning and a peaceful environment. If you manage to have this in your place, it could help you focus on your study.

Another important point you should consider to ensure concentration on your study time is to think first of what you need to learn and accomplish. Make an outline then give yourself a break to recharge your energy. Once you have accomplished your study goal for the day give yourself a reward like eating your favourite dessert.

Tips For Students Who Hate Writing

Writing a term paper, thesis or even an ordinary essay is probably the most hated work by many students. In fact, many of them say that they have this writer’s block. Why? Because they can not start writing a paragraph as they believe that they are not capable of writing a decent write-up. But based on one from one article by Scott Berkun, there is no such thing as writer’s block because it is not the fear of writing that blocks people, it’s its fear of not writing well…

This is so true, if you always think that you can not write well, the chances are you can not really start writing even the opening paragraph for your essay. You need to get over of this thinking. You need to believe in yourself. Writing is just like conversing your feeling or insight about the particular subject. Write about what you believe or what you know in the topic.

You can also hasten your sentence construction if you will create an outline of the topic that you are going to write. Just check your grammar and spellings after you have written the entire essay.
