easier way to study

      While I was walking at the corridor of my university there something caught my attention that was been posted on the bulletin board of the pre-medical society. I got it to share it with you. Its about HOW TO STUDY EFFECTIVELY. I will only give you 8 concentration strategies on how to do it. This might help you make your studies a lot easier. 

                                 EAT FREQUENT SMALL AMOUNT

             Avoid eating a big meal before a study session . Too much food will send your body into a "rest" mode. On the other hand, don't starve yourself either. Frequent small amount of meal are best.

        STUDY WHEN YOU'RE SHARPEST

             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 one when you are mentally less difficult.

        DRINK WATER OFTEN

              Drink plenty of water during a study session, especially when you are sluggish. Caffeine may also help you to stay awake, but it can increase your anxiety-use it in moderation.

DON'T GET TOO COMFORTABLE

     Choose a chair that support your back. It should be comfortable, but not too comfortable. Just like an athletes during a performance, your body should be relaxed so that your energy goes to where it matters-your brain.

TAKE A BREAK EVERY HOUR
     It is important to take a break before you feel tire and lose your concentration completely. Regular break at least one an hour helps you to sustain your concentration. If work is not going to well and you have difficulties in concentrating, you may need a long break and go back to it later.

STRETCH 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 drains your blood to lower part of your body. When you take a break, take a few deep breath and get more oxygen to your brain. Try walking around and do some light stretching for a few minutes. It will help ease the tension in your body, and circulation.

                                                 CLEAR YOUR DESK OF EVERYTHING YOU DON'T NEED
         Have everything you need on the desk. Put away what you don't need for the study session. Seeing reminders of others assessment or domestic bills may increase your anxiety and distract you.       

                                     STUDY AT THE SAME TIME, SAME PLACE
     Study at the same time and at the same place devoted to study only. This help 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.
