How to Improve concentration and focus while studying | Panel Discussion

Do you want your child to be more attentive during study? Do you want to know how to improve your child's concentration?

Concentration generally refers to our ability of being able to focus on something specific. It seems quite simple but in reality, concentration is a quite tricky concept. 

For students concentration is always a matter of great importance. For them, it is much more trickier. But it gets all the more difficult with the online learning scenario. As schools have shifted online, the entire teaching methodology has undergone a change. 

A student’s mind should be like the still waters, cool and calm. It helps you to concentrate better and hence improves the memory power. It’s a fact that memory cannot be improved without giving importance to concentration.

So, let’s focus on building concentration at the first place, and then try to improve your memory.

How to improve concentration?
Choose a specific place for studying

Try to fix your mind at a specific place while studying, and always study in that designated place only. You may choose libraries or any other quiet rooms (free from any distractions) for studying. This will help you to concentrate better as your mind will stay focused on a particular thing. Avoid chatting, browsing the phone or doing any other activity that are nothing but a way of distraction. Try to keep your study place clean, and it should be spacious with good ventilation and lighting.

Focus on goals that are achievable

Set your goals according to your potential and priorities. It’s better to focus on only those goals that are achievable rather than setting unrealistic goals just for the sake of excellence. Therefore, make short-term and specific goals and start working on them. This will not only help you to achieve your set targets but also allow you to do all the activities with focus and concentration. Define your objectives, and let your mind focus on that. You will realize after a while that you are able to concentrate better by doing this.

Discuss the topic that you have learned

Once you have learned a respective topic, start discussing it with your friends. This will help you to revise the subject and memorize it for a longer period of time without even putting an effort to study it again. Discussing a topic lets your brain to store the information and hence you tend to remember it for a longer period. This is one cool way to boost your memory power. Try it from now onwards.
