Hey. I can share some things I do to help myself not get distracted and pay attention to the task at hand. 1) Identify what distracts you. Is it your phone? Put it in the other room or switch it off while you study. Is it another person, maybe a sibling? Lock yourself up in a room to study. 2) If you can't concentrate for long, break down your task into smaller parts and try to tackle one part at a time. Reward yourself (with a break or some screen time) upon successful completion of a task.

Hey, I myself went through the phase and totally understand of how you much you want to put in that effort to focus but you can't. All I can say is good you've noticed it. Some of the things I did were: Step 1: Block your rest/time off time. It’s important to time block your off time first, that way you’re sure to get the much needed downtime you earned through being efficient. Step 2: List out all of the things you want to accomplish at work and in your personal life over the next seven days. Step 2: Start eliminating things. Ask yourself what matters most. Remove things from your list that don’t matter. Step 3: Take a look at your shortened list. What matters the most on that list? The one thing that matters most is your priority. Time block 3-4 hours in the mornings for this focused work. Step 4: Fill in the rest of your day, prioritizing your more important tasks earlier in the day. Step 5: Follow the time block schedule as closely as possible. Duration: Once a week, at the beginning of the week.

In complete agreement of the comments mentioned above. We all get laid back and find other activities more interesting than focusing on your books- even staring at a blank wall seems more fun than putting your mind into concentrating. But it's about self discipline too and how much you can get yourself to do the task that you are supposed to do. And this self discipline is a virtue that we should try to have in all fields of our lives. It's sincerity and consistency that brings good results!

Hence, just try to fight the urge to use your phone and avoid taking breaks more than needed. At the end of the day, you'll feel very proud and satisfied with yourself with any steps you take towards disciplining yourself!
