Struggling with learning?
in Psychology ·
Sean Nguyen said:I’ve been noticing lately—maybe over the last three or four months now—that my ability to actually focus on studying has just completely tanked, and it feels incredibly tough to stay on track because my mind just starts drifting off into these totally random directions, you know? It gets to the point where I’ll sit down to work, hours will just slip right past me, and then I realize I’ve barely absorbed or even reviewed a single thing, which is pretty frustrating. Does anyone happen to know if there are specific exercises or maybe some other kind of techniques that could help fix this? Thanks so much in advance for any advice you can share!
There’s no quick fix; you’re basically spinning your wheels. I only know one way that works: get some exercise. Anything, really, as long as you break a good sweat. Then, hop in the shower and head straight to your books. Oh, and maybe smash your computer first.
