Over the years one of the hardest things for me was tostay focused. I would never get my work
done and if I did it was either rushed or incomplete. Focusing is hard for some and for others it’s
like they were actually teaching the class the way they knew so much. It’s not like my lack of focus was
intentional. It just happens. It starts
off by me trying to pay attention to the teacher which I can do for about ten
minutes then I start to drift and day dream.
It usually starts when the teacher lectures about a topic. I go off into my own world and think about
prior experiences in my life. Such as high
school basketball games, prom, and working out.
I never could stay focused because my mind was elsewhere. So in order for me too I had to change up the
way I learned. I have five ways to help you focus better.
My first way to solve the problem is tutoring. Some may say tutoring doesn't help but you’ll be surprised on the results you get. Tutoring helps you individually. If you have a problem with the way a teacher
is teaching a tutor will break the subject down one on one so you can understand
it better. A tutor can give you tips on
how to study and what you can do in class to pay attention.
Another thing you can do to stay focused isgoing to sleep. A lot of rest is
important in the learning experience. It’s
kind of like a basketball game. When someone is preparing for a game they are
rested so they can have enough energy to play at a high level.
The third way is eating healthy. It has been proven that junk food makes you
sluggish and healthy foods such as lettuce, pasta, and fish give you energy.
The next way is when you are working on
something you should have a clean work space.
This will lead to no distractions so you can have more time to focus on
the assignment.
The last way is to set
goals. Having goals makes work easier
because you are more organized and have a better idea on want needs to be
done. You can have mini goals to get you
to your main goals. Stay organized with
these steps and you’ll be focused in no time.
This is an interesting post. I sometimes have trouble concentrating too and always start thinking about other things. The tips you put in this post seem very helpful. One tip that seemed the most helpful was the idea of the setting goals. It is good to set goals because then you have to do those things before starting something else. The next time I find myself starting to become unfocused, I will try your tips.
