<p>what is your guy's strategy for concentrating? </p>
<p>is there like a time limit you have where you devote 100% of your attention to the hw in front of you... say like after 10 minutes you will allow your mind to wander off...</p>
<p>or maybe your reading a book do you go by pages... like after reading half a page you let your mind wander...</p>
<p>i ask this cause i notice how my mind wanders a lot when im studying</p>
<p>Coffee usually helps me concentrate.</p>
<p>Cafeeine is known to kill brain cells, which you can't afford. as you can see, caffeine has taken it's affects on me since i can't spell the word.</p>
<p>Figure out what's a reasonable amount of time for you, and then take a short break. Sometimes it also helps to switch back and forth between subjects if you tend to have more trouble focusing when you're bored.</p>
<p>I really agree with beck86nj. I too have a hard time focussing on projects at times. I often switch tasks to refocus and usually try to find the interesting aspects of the task to keep myself motivated.</p>
