you can practice, work hard and increase your concentration levels. So, if you
are looking for tips to improve your concentration levels, here we listed some
tips on how to concentrate while studying.

proper time for everything.Eat,
sleep and study on time. We need sleep and food to lead a healthy and happy
life. The key to concentrate while studying is your health. You should keep
your body and mind healthy to maximize your concentration level.
2. Early to Bed and Early to Rise: It is good for both adults and teens or
students to sleep early and get up early before 6 am. As the proverb says, “you
need to lose something to gain something”. So, just plan and organize your
daily routine properly and go to bed at the right time and wake up early.
3.Do Meditation:Try to do meditation for at least 20
minutes daily, concentrating on one specific thing and meditate. After completion
of meditation, you should also practice some light exercises such as stretch
exercises and stretches. You can also try yoga like pranayama (breathing
exercise). This will keep you fit and healthy, both physically and mentally.
4.Study Early in the Morning:If you study early morning for at
least two hours, your concentration levels can go high as sky, provided you
follow the above tips as well. Your time will become triple, two hours of
studying equals to six hours of studying, because your mind is fresh in the
morning, both your mind and body act really swift early morning, hence you can
concentrate better.
5.Avoid Disturbances:Find a place where there is less
distraction and study there. Try to avoid any kind of disturbances and
distractions while you are studying. For instance, studying and watching
television doesn’t go well together generally. Light music or soft music prove
beneficial for some people while studying, however it depends upon the
individuals.
6.Swift off Your Mobile:Ensure that you keep your mobile
somewhere far or switch off when you are going to study. Unnecessary calls from
your friends or from others can distract your mind and spoils your study time.
Set a particular time for studies and maintain that every day.
7.Take Breaks in Between:While studying, you should take some
breaks in between. This will help you not to feel tire and bore of studying
continuously. However, ensure that you don’t take breaks for too long. Again
set a proper time and take breaks at the same time daily.
8.Find a Specific Spot for Studies:You can concentrate better, if you
have a particular place that you usually study. Try to find one particular
place where you find comfortable, less distraction and use it only for studies.
9.Visualize a stress-free Situation :As
an exercise before you begin studying; think of those times when concentration
is not a problem for you--no matter what the situation is. Now try to feel or
imagine yourself in that situation. Recapture that experience immediately before
your studies by placing yourself in those moments. Repeat before each study
session.
10. Last,
but not the least, keep your mind prepared when you are going to study. You
shouldbe ready mentally to studyand concentrate on your books. And, to
keep yourself ready, you need to follow all the above points.
