We need to have self discipline and not lose control over ourselves. We need to focus on one thing ONLY. We should not be distracted and fail to resist the temptation to do other things and not completing our work on time and finish simple tasks way longer than expected.

We easily get distracted by our mobile devices;messages, social media,etc. So heres a tip i lerant from my Mother on how to prevent that from happening.
*Switch your phone to airplane mode*
This way, no notifications would pop up on your screen to distract you. Also, i suggest taking breaks and doing meaningful activities during the breaks.
I hope this helped! :)

Switch off notifications for mobile devices while studying so as to reduce distractions and take occasional breaks to participate in meaningful activities which allow u to spend more time with your family etc.

Stop playing computer games all the time. Tell yourself: Once I finish this assignment, I will play for half an hour ect. This way, you can be more productive in your work and play your computer games.
But you should not play for too long either.

We all know that focusing in learning is hard, but we can overcome it.
First of all (the most important one), we must identify what makes us distracted. Is it games? Is it the millions of messages send by your friends? What is it?
After identifying your distraction[s], set yourself a goal.
For example, games make you distracted. Tell yourself that you need to complete the English homework that is assigned by your teacher before playing games for 1 hour. (DO NOT give yourself an excuse that you will just play games for 5 minutes when you are suppose to your work. )
Once you are done, you can play! You will have a sense of achievement. By doing this, it also makes learning more interesting. You will get to finish your work and play your games as well =)

I hope with my tips, you stay focus in your learning.

But remember not to rush through your work. Do it with efforts. Quality work. I'm sure your teacher will appreciate it =)

Some quotes!
- starve your distractions, feed your focus
- focus on things that matter most
- focus on the solution, not the problem
- know what have to do, now it's time to focus and do it!

Tips:

#1: Study in short periods of 25 minutes. This is because majority of our attention spans do not last long.

#2: After studying for 25 minutes, take a short 5 minute break. After 3 intervals of studying (1 interval is 25 minutes of studying & 5 minutes of break time), take a break for 15 minutes.

#3: Set yourself a goal for the day, and tell someone. Promise that person you will do it and if you do not give him/her (for a start) $2. This way, you would not dare to break your goal and just focus on doing it!

#4: Give yourself something to look forward to when you accomplish your goal for the day. When you do so, you motivate yourself to get what you are doing over and done with (WITH EFFORT, OF COURSE).

#5: Use a habit tracker. Get a calendar and mark off whether you have accomplished your goal for a day. If you have stuck to everything as planned, at the end of the month, go for a reward (movies?)!

#6: Surrender your devices to your parents (alternative: disconnect the internet to your computer, TvT I have this function controlled by my dad so I need to ask when I want internet!). Doing so would allow you to focus on your paperwork.

Good luck in school and I hope you benefit from these! Quit those bad habits! Don't give up.

When I do my work, I will turn my phone on airplane mode or dark mode. This way, I will not be disturbed and can be more productive.
Every week, I will also make a planner. On my wall, I will put post-it pads with the assignments on them. I can plan them so that I know that I must do them on that day and not leave all the assignments to the last day.
By using these and many more techniques, we can be productive!

go to somewhere which is quiet (where there is no gadgets or other people who are talking etc.) and focus on the work that you are doing.

Tan Yee Kai Damien-34

You should put away your distractions in a place where you cannot see it. If your distraction is the environment, go to a place such as your room where it is quiet and free of distractions.

If we easily get distracted by things like games and the internet,you can tell yourself that you should finish what you should finish first and then do what you want to do.Or,you can set a time on your clock and set an alarm on when you must finish.If you fail,you can add the amount of time you think you need more to complete the homework.

If your distraction is due to digital devices, the solution to that is to put them away and best out of sight so that you will not think so much about them. If your distraction is due to other people making noise, the solution to it is to go to an isolated room and close the door instead of complaining to them. I am not going to state the solution to everything but just state solutions to the common problems. Always remember, good quality work does not only come from smart people. With focus, you can put in your best effort and also create one and achieve your goals too.

Tips:
1. Listen to study music or classical music
2. Organise your desk or area you're studying in
3. Set yourself goals and reward yourself after you have accomplished it
4. Make a to-do list to be more organised, and tick one task off every time you finish it

Wyn Ho 5U-39

Keep distractions away from yourself. Create a schedule and be organised. Find a quiet environment for efficient studying. Take small breaks between tasks. Get enough rest. Also remember that sometimes ''later'' becomes ''never''. Always finish your work before playing. :)

Some tips for managing distractions!

#1: Create a separate space for work and rest.
This is because you can get distracted easily as your resting area is just nearby and and you will be tempted to rest. You will tell yourself 'five minutes only'. But in reality, you will probably take 10 minutes. It happens to almost everybody, including myself. But of course, not everybody has the space to do that. How about your table furthest away from your resting area?(example, your bed may be your resting area.)

#2: Turn off your electronic devices when working.
For me, my parents do not give me a phone until my holidays after my PSLE and they put a time limit on all electronic devices. For example, I can only watch the television on Saturdays and my parents set a limit when I use my laptop. However, if you have a phone, you can download an app called 'forest' or you can switch your phone to airplane mode.

#3: Keep only what you need on your table.
During the weekend, my family went to IKEA. My father bought a board that can be hung on my wall. I put the items that was on my table on the board(example my calendar and notebooks). I found it surprisingly helpful as I could focus more than having the items on my table.

#4: Write motivational quotes. After all, you are your biggest motivator.
You can write your own quotes, no matter how silly it is. You are going to motivate yourself in the end anyway. Here's a quote that I really like.
"IMPOSSIBLE" itself says "IM POSSIBLE"
-Audrey hepburn

#5: Set goals and rewards.
Your brain needs a rest every now and then. Seriously. Even though you have exams the next day, rest and sleep early. It is better than studying until late at night and not getting enough rest. If you do not rest enough, you will find yourself working even slower. So REST.

#6: Listen to classical music
Believe me or not, research has shown that students who listen to classical music score higher on tests than students who listen to other genres of music. So, go on, listen to classical music. Just make sure they don't make you sleep!

Well I guess that's the end! I hope you like these tips!

Put away all other unnecessary devices or things that may cause distraction.
Try to set some time in every day to plan out your own schedule and follow it.
