In our increasingly connected world of smartphones, tablets, laptops and high-speed Internet, distractions are everywhere.
We’ve all been there... facing the siren call of a friend’s Facebook wall or that hot new Youtube video on the eve of a giant exam. And before you know it, you're checking out what your cousins have been up to, browsing through photographs of when an acquaintance (she's not even your friend really) went out to dinner and updating your status.
Twenty minutes later, you realise how much time you just wasted and decide to get back to your books. Unfortunately, your phone beeps again. What is a person to do?
Here's what. No matter how tempting, stay away from that screen, hide the television remote and keep the phone on silent mode and in the other room. Don't let distractions ruin your study time and you will see just how much more you can get done if you concentrate.
Make a deliberate and committed effort to stay on task and you’ll make the most of every study session.
