Studying involves a lot of sensory organs and much more the brain. Therefore, a favourable and conducive environment will help in achieving the maximum level of outcome. Some of the methods you can employ include:-
1. Having a dedicated study spot
This can be a room or a place with adequate lighting, a comfortable chair with a raised table. A good posture will help avoid problems such as a backache. Adequate ventilation is also crucial as the brain needs oxygen for better concentration.
2. Set study goals
These goals will help you maintain focus and ensure at the end you are on track. You can also go back and see what objectives you have not met. thereafter you can formulate a mechanism to take care of the same. Study goals also help you not to under-read or over-read.
3. Take healthy breaks during the study
This can be achieved, for example, by taking a walk or by taking a shower for a few minutes then getting back to your study. It helps freshen up the brain and the whole body in general. However, you should take care not to spend a lot of time on break.
4. Avoid distractions
For most people, understanding and concentration is achieved with minimum distraction possible. This explains the necessity of silence and avoidance of up and down movement during major examinations or places that require a lot of attention. Distraction will divert your mind from studying to something different therefore backtracking your study progress.
