MONITOR YOUR CONCENTRATION
Monitoring how often you lose your concentration can be very helpful in learning
how to improve your concentration. Put a check mark or write the time in the
margin of your book or your lecture notes every time you’re distracted. At the end
of your class or study session, count the number of interruptions. Make a commitment to reduce that number the next time you read or go to your lecture. In a few
weeks, you may find that your ability to concentrate improves dramatically.
When you notice that you are daydreaming or thinking about other things, try to figure out what actually triggered your loss in concentration. If you can pinpoint
the cause of your distraction, you’re only one step away from the solution. Hold
yourself accountable for your lapses in concentration find a way to overcome them. Remember, you can improve your ability to concentrate, but it is you who
must take the responsibility for doing so.
