There are many ways to avoid distractions :
1) Set a timetable. write down the timing of your zoom session and when you want to do the assignments for each subject to stay on track.
2)Never allow your mobile devices such as mobile phone and i pad be by your side. Without your devices, you can focus and not get distracted.

3) Make sure that your surroundings are as quiet as possible. It is very easy to get distracted my noise.
There are many ways to focus while studying:
1) Put a timer for 30 minutes. Take a break after 30 minutes because Our mind cannot concentrate for a long period of time.
2) Make sure that your surroundings have nothing that can distract you such as toys, games, comic books and devices.
The most dangerous way to lose time is not spending it having fun, but spending it doing fake work.

When doing work, put gadgets aside and focus on the work. Make sure you are in a quiet and tidy environment. Set a time-table if necessary, highly recommended if you easily get distracted. There is a Chinese saying: 今日事,今日毕
It means that if today you can do it, do it today. Don't drag your work to tomorrow.

1) Plan out a timetable for the week or day.

2) Give your gadgets to your parents so you won't play with it.

3) I would recommend doing your work once you finish brushing your teeth. So you will have a fresh mind and can do your work easily.

4) Have a quiet environment so you can focus.

5) Have a clean table. You should only have your assignment object and pencil case. Nothing that can be played should not be on the table.

6) Inform your parents if you are going to do work and you don't want them to disturb you.

7) Make sure you not sleepy and don't stare at the computer screen while doing SLS. You might rub your eyes and you may fall asleep.

1)Plan out a timetable and be sure too follow it. 2)Avoid using gadgets while studying or doing work. Give it to your parents or keep it somewhere to avoid keeping in touch with it. 3)Do your work in a proper space and quiet environment so you won't get easily distracted by the surrounding noise. 4)Take a small break once in a while because if you study for too long, your mind cannot focus

# data[].attributes.body
1) Be in a clean, quiet environment-make the place you are studying clean and neat.
2) Set a timetable to follow and tell yourself that you need to follow it as it will be good for yourself not the people who ask you to do it—
People who ask you to do something you do not like is not to threaten you but that kind heart of them to help you needs to be repaid as they are just helping for no use fully for themselves but they just want to help, remind you of something. They can save their voice by not scolding you but they choose to for you to learn a lesson and forever remember this incident and to change the bad habit. We should not hate but thank the people who scold us as they helped us a lot than you think and make you a better person. It is for your own good. People who cares for you, scolding you actually gives an idea that they have or are the biggest support for you that you might not notice and think so much about it. We should thank them and repay them by apologising for our rudeness towards them and treat them better, kinder, etc or being well-behaved for them not having to scold us and this also give you an advantage to say the words kept long inside your heart.
3)Put away all gadgets to remain focus. Do not be addicted to your gadgets as it will cause you to keep on thinking about the ‘picture’ of the  game and not be able to concentrate on what you need to do and keep staring blankly at your table.
4)Take a small break in between studying but remember no gadgets as you might not want to continue studying. If you were asked to, you will stare at the table thinking of the image of what you saw in the device doing nothing.
5) Keep a positive mode when it comes to revising, studying, learning, etc.
Stay CALM, do not RUSH
6) What you can do today should not be dragged to tomorrow of laziness, etc. Today’s work is today’s work nothing should be dragged for tomorrow as you might had already planned for something that cannot be cancelled and you might not have time for the thing being dragged and it will be dragged continuously and you will need to rush in the last minute and complete your work for submission and the work might not be well-done and might cause a serious consequence that you will never know.

Here are some ways I avoid distractions during HBL:
-Making a timetable
Make a  timetable that is easy to refer to and make sure is a proper schedule that you can follow
-Put all distractions aside
Make sure that all distractions e.g. phones,ipad etc
-Rest
Make time to rest and to work.Depending on how long you can study before needing a break set that amount of time to study before taking a break
-Study environment
Make sure that the room you are studying is quiet and neat and make sure that nothing is around the area to distract you

# data[].attributes.body
1) Make a timetable
2)Put your things that will distract you  aside
3)If you need to use devices, finish the work. Forget about games before your timetable says so.
4)Rest if you are tired but don't rest so long or you will not catch up our timetable.
5)Be in quiet environment if need to.
That's what I do during hbl.

Motivation
Often, when starting to study, many people are at loss of motivation.
One way to start having a lot of motivation is by doing a lot of work even if you don't feel like it. Example, if there's a lot of homework to do, but you don't feel like doing it, just do it. After a few hours of doing work, you will start enjoying it, somehow.
Back in September, I downloaded an app called 'Study Bunny' as I saw it on the play store. Here's how it works: You take care of a bunny, and you can buy many things for it in the shop. You may turn on happiness levels for the bunny, meaning the mood of the bunny depends on how much you study. To gain coins so that you may buy things in the shop, you have to study. 1 coin per 10 minutes. It may sound simple and boring but the cuteness level of the bunny and the items in shop are irresistible. You could just let the stop timer run while you play, but that is not a very honest thing to do.
Distractions
Often, distractions will stop us from doing our work, or slow us down.
There is really no need to put away devices such as phones, tablets, etc. However, toys must be put away and you  have to make sure it is a quiet environment to study. Devices are only needed to be put away if you're having trouble focusing. You may have your device with you as long as your notifications are turned off. If the environment is not quiet and you can't do much about it, you may plug in your earphones and listen to study music. I recommend lo-fi beats.
Breaks
For light studying, breaks should be from every 30 minutes to 1 hour of studying.
For average studying, breaks should last a maximum of 25 minutes.
For hardcore studying, breaks should last a maximum of 10 minutes or for toilet breaks only.
Do remember that you should not skip meals to study.
More tips
A timetable is advised, but it is no use if you aren't going to follow it.
To complete work faster, you may list out all the work needed to be done and then slowly cross them off the list as you complete the work.
Write down notes in class when having lessons, it may not necessarily be neat as you may go home to make a very neat and beautiful poster from the information you have taken down.
When revising, make mind maps, posters, print out test papers to try out, or cover all answers of worksheets you have done and try them again to see if you know how to do it. This is especially for questions you have done wrong.
Carelessness often occurs when you rush your work. To avoid rushing work, estimate the amount of time you have to complete your work. Then, read all questions one by one before attempting and estimate whether the estimated time to do the work is enough. If it is enough, there is no need to rush. If there isn't enough time, it is reasonable to rush, but make sure you check your work. Another reason for carelessness could be the anxiousness that makes you rush your work, try finding ways to destress yourself and calm yourself so that you do not rush and make careless mistakes. One way could be deep breathing.

I hope all these tips helped you out!
