One tip for studying specifically: Go to the library. Everybody around you is studying and therefore putting pressure on you to be productive as well.
Soviet Cosmonaut thanks for this
Soviet Cosmonaut depends who you're going with. go to a designated quiet area if there is one and study with people who are serious 😊

Putting pressure on me never worked to make me study.
The only times I really studied was when the subject interested me.
When I got pressure on my shoulders to study something, I totally lose interest in the subject, and become unable to work.
we dont have library....
just a room full of books XD
Saurav then focus as much as they focus on their kissing
*sleep well, eat well*
Schools: *no*
Exactly 😅

Good thing your comment is the first thing that I saw. I unintentionally activated my unfocused habit by trying to peak at the comment section.
1. Plan out your times (start by figuring out which times of the day your brain is focused the most) - most efficient hours and schedule your time accordingly
2. Train your brain (don’t multitask - put all effort in to ONE task)
3. Let it flow naturally (if you can’t focus - take a break to clear your head)
4. Sleep well eat well ! Take care of your needs = increased productivity
5. Make a list - make it clear to your self what you want to accomplish in each session - be specific !
6. Repeat repeat repeat (consistency) **
7. Clear up (leave all potential distractions from your previous tasks behind) move forward
8. Pay attention to your habits (pin point what exactly keeps you distracted and get rid of it)
9. Times up ! (Set times - Take breaks)
10. Separate relaxation space and work space (bedroom / study room) no working in bedroom X
11. FINISH !! End the work with some thing you enjoy eg: watch a movie.

ever since quarantine i can’t focus ever i was an A student now i’m a C student 😀👍
samee
I have all As expect for 1 B and D😔 I NEED HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Like how u put a happy emoji 🤣
OK ik it's weird to say something random here but, I literally took my book to study justtt to have some private time cuz my mom and dad doesn't like that I watch anime that includes boys...and yeah I am in India so Indian schools mostly separate the genders...and I think in many countries being gay or bi or even lebesian is considered bad, well guess wt being cold but kind hearted is considered a boy behavior and not a girl one...so I just wanna ask u this...do u have any idea about how u can get more not so emotionless cuz my parents hate me ●︿● (yeah I only can think of sadness and not happiness idk y)
Is anyone else, for some reason, always really focused when watching Psych2Go's videos because for some reason they're very calming and satisfying, but absolutely CANNOT focus on most other things?
Indigo Fenrir okay, thank you, and for some reason, you sounded like one of those inspirational Dumbledore-like senseis talking to their disciple xD not to be rude doe
There are many components to learning to focus. One plan I discovered that successfully combines these is the Magic Focus Plan (google it if you're interested) it's the most incredible plan that I've heard of. Check out the awesome information .
the greatest success that i've ever had was by using the Magic Focus Plan (i found it on google) - definately the most useful resource that I've followed.
🤣🤣🤣
No. I found this video too stimulating. Too many things coming at to on the screen. Terrible example.
If you are limited with available space, you can always differentiate a study zone vs. a relaxing zone with a light. The idea behind having separate spaces is to associate the various areas with the different tasks. Using a certain light while working, will have the same effect.
Well put :)
so as a strange example, normal light for relaxing and...red light for working? ok i understand^^
60 Second Success doctor your tormenting me 😩

Me, staring at a smudge on my phone screen and then realizing I missed the entire video: 👁-👁

pov: you're studying and can't focus and opened youtube, the irony.
I have a test in a couple hours! hopefully this will help! Thank you!
How did the test go? lol just realized you commented 4 years ago XD
This is great, thanks very much, also I would add doing exercise during the day, really helps boost dopamine levels in the brain and keeping up motivation especially when stress builds up.
Another tip: If you have an Android, search up "focus distraction app" on the Play Store and there's this app that lets you set time limits to the most distracting parts of your phone (Facebook, Instagram, etc.). Helped me save hours!

Life is hard when you have to choose between:

Admirable
Defining
Handsome
Delightful
Read the first letters.
I'm not a 14 year old girl, this is not deep. No offense, and thanks for trying, but this hardly helps anything. People are still focusing on comments and not their objective.
@@animationspace8550 I don't think they're trying to be deep 👀
I never get enough sleep, that's my reason for not being focused :(
GGR Makes what about changing your sleeping schedule?
Me too
Channel was so different back in the day, like wow what an opening
lol step 1: find out when you're focused
dude I work best at 2am the night before the thing is due lmao
btw nice video!! this really helps me!! thank you!
this is the best username i have ever made shit waddup
BTS I LUV waddup
@@thisisthebestusernameihave2587 .yup
The fridge has me distracted.
LOL- me too. Too bad, my father prevents me from getting snack from the fridge until I finished my homeworks😢
WE ARE NEVER TIRED OR DISTRACTED WHILE WE ARE DOING THE THINGS THAT MAKE US HAPPY,
Learn to say “not now, later”
Many distractions come from the needs or availability of others.
Focus without disruptions does wonders.
"not now, later" can be used for studies too
me not being able to focus on the video bc I'm thinking of a comment or thinking if I have corona
The video: are you listening??
y’all have no idea how much help this is thank y’all
One of my tips is using one of the lofi live streams for studying
What I find to be the case: When observing and comparing people's focal endurance, it's quite similar to marathon runners vs sprinters. You can train to be good at either/and/or, but in a similar fashion to how some people are innately slow-twitch muscle fibre dominant (and so find long distance easier than the avg.), individuals can be innately better at short and intense bursts of focus, or extensive hours of focus. I'm decent in terms of long periods of focus, but my short intense bursts are lacking.
Focus intensity seems slightly abstract for some, but I like comparing it to how hard one can contract a muscle and incorporate it into functional movement/tasks.
Just a brief idea of how I go about thinking about focus.
This video is great! One additional tip I thought of is using focus essential oil helps me, even when playing the piano.
I think its important also not to follow anything as a hard or fast rule, breaks are important but if you've got momentum, keep it going! You'll very likely find yourself going off to do something or going on some tangent then its off to bed then you take a few horus to get in a position to be able to work after waking up, getting ready etc. then your priorities have shifted and you're no longer even close to holding in mind the task you have at hand and even if you remember that day your best hours will be behind you.
Perfect timing as always x)
Hope it helped!
For me, it's either daydreaming or the phone, cuz a lot of the stuff I have to do is online... :(
Thank you for this video!
Taking notes is also a great way to remember and focus, even if every other minute you have to skip back a few seconds...
No one's talking about how cute these drawings are
"Sleep well"
Me, a student: whats "sleep"??
I don’t even know dude😔
The most effective way for me to stay focused on something is to hate that something with every fiber of my being. That way, I can even learn about it better since hating something makes that something your enemy and therefore gets you to actually learn something about it.
If your phone distructs you download Offtime and/or app detox, they will make it impossible to you to use the apps u select
If your computer distracts you install WasteNoTime or Focal filter (you can give 'em a list of web pages, which they will block for a desired time limit)
Now that people are so laxed going out, streets and most everywhere are becoming way more noiser and crowded, and myself was shocked to witness things suddenly became that way.
8 is a pretty good tip. If you see yourself being distracted by an app, like discord or a game, simply remove your access to it. For me, since exams are coming up, I deleted a game that I just open whenever I'm bored doing work. Now I'm a lot more productive since I don't constantly open the game in between sessions.
All tasks I do, I do in silence. No radio, No I-Tunes, No CD's, and No TV!!! . I'm a strong believer of saving those for when I have nothing else to do. Distractions cause me to forget things, and also cause me to misplace things. If I misplace things, I have to spend hours looking for what I misplaced, or else spend that money and REplace what I've misplaced.
Whenever I'm on my feet, I wanna think about absolutely noting else but the task at hand, even while doing such chores as washing dishes, dusting, vacuuming, wiping down the kitchen counters, and cleaning the bathroom. In everything I do, I wanna do as I should behind the wheel of a vehicle, or operating heavy machinery. The task at hand is all I want on my mind. Doing something and thinking about other things is a BAD HABBIT!!!! Even in routine chores, I find that I can do SERIOUS DAMAGE if I don't concentrate on what I'm doing!!!!! Whenever I'm on my feet and going about things, I need to both CONCE------AND--------TRATE on what I'm doing. I wanna think about what I'm doing, and absolutely nothing but what I'm doing!!!!!!
"Put away all distractions"
the paper im using to do my task is what's distracting me 😭. I keep drawing on the side of the paper
Heyy! They used part of my idea! :D
Best tip I can give yall is if you get distracted by reading a book for example, you can try doing a different strategies of reading or holding the book or even positions, I promise you if you start doing something different or different strategies everyday, you'll then develop something called "interest develop" is a thing that will basically make you focus more than anything else and start thinking more and focus more than ever before.
Honestly I can’t blame school I’m lucky to have an education a lot of people would die for an education so they can live better so I shouldn’t complain or blame school but yeah it’s actually us who are the issue it’s 8 hours of school in my country so I come back home by 3pm and I have till like 9pm or 10pm to do what I need to 6-7 hours worth of time use like the last hour to enjoy myself and prepare for sleep and wake up by 6am but I came here because my schedule right now sucks distractions are everywhere and could barely finish tasks or focus. Idk where to start but yeah carry on watching more videos like this while studying it changes my mood
Thanks for the tip I don’t quite Focus on doing assignments at home when my assignments are hard I Go to next one if its hard again, I take a break and watch UA-cam
Psych2Go

Thank you
As you can see, I am watching this video because I have ADHD. I need to focus in school, my parents, at church, and any time.
I am so unfocused that I replayed almost every tips
Having good psych and phy us impt but good techniques requires constant effort and awareness on what the he'll you are doing. Most important part? Give yourself space to think. You don't always have to do something to give you progress. Think carefully before you do. And do it quick. In fact master the idea of multitasking but knowing what the he'll you are doing every single detail.
Thank you so much !
I was struggling with my studies in class 9th and after watching this video thrice I managed to bang a 95 percent in 10th
Watching this during class
Great tip on cleaning up and moving forward even if you find something you missed or an error that was made. It is key to keep moving forward. I'll keep this in mind next time - thanks!
Thank you so much for this
Hopefully it helps
I can never focus on these videos because after 2 seconds the narration just blends into one
The voice and art go well together 😢❤
It is cute 👌🚀
A thing that I do is listen to relaxing piano mixes of my fav songs so I can both enjoy and focus at the same time :3
"Figure out when your focus is at its best"
Me: "when I'm sleeping"

Thank you very much for this video!
Im trying to focus while studying. But I can’t stop thinking about the time earlier today when I embarrassed myself.
I have a straw that bends, so I drink water withought even realizing.... it really helps.
Nice video. Very well made, keep it up. 5/5
I like your wide approach!
Thank u for this wound fully video 💕🙏🏻
I think music, especially music without lyrics helps, but if you keep jamming to it too much put on something more mellow or turn the volume down so you don't get so distracted from it
Nice video, as always!
Will so time I lesson to music and do my homework at the same time and it works it's a great way to calm your self down .
I need to focus on actually eating my breakfast but here I am watching a video on how to stay focused
my concentration in itself. when the vid said make a list, my brain said; make a list, checkin twice, gonna find out who’s naughty or nice. LMAO what’s wrong w me
This really helped
Watching this again for help while quarantining... I hate it here...
Just found this video.
Corona really making school less effective than before.
I had no idea that this was even possible.
I can’t rest because I’m always thinking about studying even when I have free time. I’m very bad at switching my mind.
I didn't want to be born but now I have to work hard and study hard to make my life better for working till I am old . I really have the urge to end it :)
Thank you, this really helps.
Plans are really helpful
Thank you so helpful so far im doing all this so im already on the right track
alright now that i can put this vid on repeat i can start focusing on improving to be the best
Thanks this video helped me alot starting tom i will do your tips
I have a really hard time focusing.
I find myself sitting down to do something, but then I get up and walk around even though I didn't need to get up to do something.
I really needed this, thank u🤗🙏🏽
this tip may work for some. Listen to some calm music such as piano instrumentals or low fi hip hop music while working. Try to refrain from music that distracts you.
Me when not studying : meh this wall is boring
Me when I study : look at this wall, interesting
This is especially hard for me because I have ADHD
Wow I just realized how much this channel has grown🤠✨👍🏾
