Hey guys in this article, I have covered one of the most asked question and tried answering it.Although this answers might not help for some people it could help on a general level.

How to focus while studying?

Most people face this problem while trying to study without getting distracted, or something that is boring but important some people can't even last for 10 minutes without getting distracted or daydreaming.

Get examined for ADHD.Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) . And if you got diagnosed with it. You should try to study in sprints, but keep activities around for distractions. You might only study for 10 minutes, but then go for walk for 15 minutes, then go back to studying for 15 more minutes ,etc.

Even if you don't have ADHD, you can try this trick it's also similar to the Pomodoro Technique you don't have to study for hours at a time. It's more beneficial even for neuro typical people to study in 20 minute increments with five minute breaks in between than it is to study for long hours.

And 20 minutes went by so fast. Way fast than an hour.

Also, I recommend you to look into a software called Jira, Jira is a proprietary issue tracking product developed by Atlassian that allows agile project management and and a methodology called Agile/SCRUM. It literally saved people while doing more difficult work that took a lot of direct focus. It helps you to not context switch so much because you work in time periods called “Sprints” that have you focusing on one (or a very few) thing at a time.

Why do we get Distracted while studying? There can be various explanations for that. However, most common reason is that getting distracted is a habit. Based on constantly changing environment in the modern society with so many things going on and loads information available just clicks away, our brain just craves to find out - what’s new, what’s exciting, what you might be missing out on.
