What can I do to make my study sessions more productive? I keep getting distracted.
Hi, if you want to learn quickly and efficiently and without distractions, then you need to study with a tutor who will find you the best approach and training schedule. I can advise you to try here, talk to the teacher and find the best course for you. Personally I liked their approach to work and the fact that you can choose the optimal level of employment to have time to do homework. I would also like to mention their individual approach and a wide variety of courses, which is very convenient.
The number one question is: what are you getting distracted by, and can you get rid of it? If the problem is your phone or something else in your visual field, leave it out of the room when sitting down to study. Or if you must have your phone, at least make sure to disable notifications and block distracting apps before you start. There are study focus apps out there that can take care of both for you. And if distracting noises are an issue, you can try headphones or earplugs.
Truth is, if you are struggling while studying something you don’t care about, anything will seem more interesting than the task at hand. And you can make the whole process of staying focused much less stressful for your brain by just eliminating pointless distractions.
Another alternative is to try a different study method. Maybe you have a hard time focusing on reading, but you can pay attention to videos very well, or listen to educational podcasts. Maybe the structure of a GAMSAT prep course like the one on this link would help you focus. Keep trying different things; you’ll find an effective method eventually.
