How to stay focused while reading for exams like NEET/ IIT-JEE or any other competitive exams and increase our productivity at home?

 Hi there, this is Sameer Ahmed, currently on my passed out 12th and sitting on a lockdown at home. I had pursued my 11th and 12th with 90% of my marks and studying for competitives exams like NEET for my admission at my dream college at Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Here's how you can stay focused and study as much as possible for more hours and increase your productivity, such that you study for longer hours during home so that you can prepare yourself for exams.

#1. Create a study space: 

Most of our times, if you remember during our school times, we used to study in our classroom, which gave us an environment of studying, this mentally made us to feel us to study. 

I would highly recommend that to decide a place and mark that place as study space. Like make yourself a rule that not to use my mobile or any other technological device here. Make sure to mute any notifications and keep the phone some distance away from the study space. This would make your mind to remember that this is a library kind of place and eventually he/she would start studying. 

#2. Make sure that to keep all the things which are required are within your reach: 

Now we had decided our study space and you are going to start studying, the thing you need to before studying is that to make the things required to study or the essential things like water, stationery items within your reach. 

This would help to minimise the distractions while going studying and you would make yourself free to study and focus for long hours and you can have your things within your reach. 

#3. Make a strong intention and start studying:

Sometimes, intentions do change everything and it gives a boost of energy to start your day, even intentions can decide who the person is. You may think what I'm talking about 🤔. 

Intentions are those thoughts in your mind that help to decide to do what are you going to do on a next few minutes or seconds. It is a strong belief kind of thing which keep us motivated and eventually start us dedicating towards our work. 

Make sure to keep in mind that you are going to start a work and don't stop your work, keep completing the work. An intention will give you those. These are the thoughts which are specifically towards a goal or any other work. So, keep in mind and start studying.

#4. Don't stop the work in between: 

After starting the work, in between, our mind starts swinging there and forth and it would make us think to quit the work. So, write some motivational quotes on a paper and stick it on your wall beside your study space. 

This would remind you that to continue and you would eventually start studying again and you would never feel sad/depressed/tired. Yeah, you need to take some rests in between while studying but you should also need to take care of the breaks will be of the following criteria.

1) don't use any social media

2) take a breathing exercise, and have a clear mind

3) don't talk to any person who is demotivating you to focus and have a small friend circle.

4) have some healthy snacks to keep your mind active.
