Dear CCI members,
Now the time all you are in the revision phase and it will be better to introduce some tips which is really help you a lot during your revision phase. Some concentration techniques are given here. Please go through it. This is my little effort to bring something useful during your revision time.
Eat Frequent Small Meals
Avoid eating a big meal before a study session. Too much food will send your body into a ‘rest’ mode.
Brain will have a lower blood circulation due to the digestive function which is taking place in side your body.
On the other hand, don’t starve yourself either. Frequent small meals are best.
Study When You’re Sharpest and recreate when you are exhausted.
Study according to your body-clock.
Are you sharpest in the morning or at the evening?
Schedule your most difficult materials when you are mentally at your best, and schedule the easier ones when you are mentally less efficient.
Drink Water Often
Drink plenty of water during a study session, especially when you feel sluggish.
Caffeine may help you to stay awake, but it can increase your anxiety – use it in moderation.
Don’t Get Too Comfortable in Your Chair
Choose a chair that supports your back.
It should be comfortable, but not too comfortable.
Just like an athlete during a performance, your body should be relaxed, so that all your energy goes to where it matters – your brain.
Clear Your Desk of Everything You Don’t Need
Have everything you need on the desk. Put away what you do not need for the study session. Seeing reminders of other assessments or domestic bills may increase your anxiety and distract you.
Take Breaks Every Hour
It is important to take a break before you feel tired and lose your concentration completely. Regular breaks at least once an hour helps to sustain your concentration.
If the work is not going too well and you have difficulties in concentrating, you may need a long break and go back to it later
Stretch During Your Breaks
Know and respect your concentration span which will vary from hour to hour and from day to day.
When you sit for long periods, gravity draws the blood to the lower part of your body.
When you take a break, take a few deep breaths and get more oxygen to your brain: try walking around and doing some light stretching for a few minutes. It will help to release tension in your body, and help your circulation.
Study at the Same Time, Same Place
Study at the same time and at the same place, devoted to study only. This helps you to associate the time and place with studying and concentrating. You will find that you get into a habit of studying as soon as you sit down.
Wish you All the Best
