the most important part of studying is maintaining focus on the material. if you find a way to do work with minimal distractions, then you will get a lot more done. here are my best tips for staying on task.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

isolate yourself<\/h2>\n

in order to really focus on studying, it\u2019s best to be by yourself. if you really want to study with someone else, pick a friend who is very productive and usually tends to stay on task. definitely don\u2019t pick your most talkative friend.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

turn off your phone<\/h2>\n

i know it\u2019s hard, but if you really want to refrain from checking instagram, the best thing is to turn off your phone. if you leave it on, you\u2019ll tell yourself you won\u2019t check it. but you always will anyway.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

set rewards<\/h2>\n

set rewards for yourself if you complete a task in a certain amount of time. that way, you will stay focused because you\u2019ll be motivated to get the reward. for example, every time you complete a page of reading, eat a chip.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

pick a good study environment<\/h2>\n

figure out which type of environment you like to study in, whether it\u2019s a silent library or a busy caf\u00e9. if a certain study spot isn\u2019t a good fit for you, then you won\u2019t get any work done there. so personalize your studying to your preferences.<\/p>\n
