Focusing my efforts
Updated: Jul 14, 2020
Staying focused in college can become difficult when you take into account classes, work, student organizations, and socializing. College can make many demanding requests leaving students feeling overwhelmed and unable to focus clearly.

When you are not able to focus clearly, your ability to learn will be negatively impacted and can lead to students forgetting important assignments and jeopardizing your grades. To prevent this from happening it is important to try to identify the reasons for the lack of focus and the distractions that may be preventing you from concentrating properly.
When you have found the cause or source of your distraction, you must find a way to address the issue so that you can work more efficiently and effectively at your studies.
To help you achieve this, we suggest that you:
Develop a routine
Get a good night sleep
Avoid multitasking
Eat healthy goods
Reduce distractions
Set goals
Exercise
Find your motivation
Take breaks
Keep a clears study space
Break up your tasks
