Place your phone in another room – the old saying “out of sight, out of mind” works well here. Instead of getting distracted by text messages, new emails, Instagram updates, Tweets and so on, we can remove the distraction. Planning what you will study ahead of time is important. There are multiple ways to accomplish this and one way is to review what you have studied before going to bed and planning out what you want to accomplish the next day. When you wake up the next morning, you have a set plan and goal in mind for the day. These are short-term goals/plans and you can incorporate long-term goals/plans into your scheduling as well with weekly or monthly scheduling. If you are tackling a large portion of your studying over several hours, schedule breaks during the day. These breaks can include your meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) along with your health/fitness routine. There does not need to be an exact time you will take each and every break if you want to get through a section of material before dinner, then finish what you need to and then take your scheduled break. Separating physical spaces is important for mental recovery. When you take your scheduled breaks, make sure you leave the room you are studying in. When we forget to separate these 2 spaces, we often roll over our break time into our study time and vice versa. It’s the same concept as keeping your bedroom for sleeping and no other activities (such as watching television) because our body adjusts to these activities. It helps our body recognize that a physical space is designated for a particular activity – staying focused in the process. If you’re still having trouble with self-control and putting away technology or saying “no” to things, consider technology apps to assist you. One app for Mac-users is SelfControl – allowing you to set restrictions on websites, mail servers, the Internet, etc. Your Turn! Comment below on how you stay focused while studying!

The rest of the time was lost on all kinds of digital distractions.Ĭontent is for educational purposes only & not medical advice.One day 10 years ago while freelancing on upwork (odesk), I realized I had only gotten 3 hours of actual productive work done all day. I started using FocusMe a week later and within 6 months I finally launched my first successful business. That was 5 years later than intended, but hey. I don't think I could have done it without FocusMe. Digital distractions are productivity death by a thousand cuts.
