How to focus on studies or placements during this corona pandemic holidays?

Students around the world, especially 2021 pass-out batch got an golden opportunity, even in this worse situation they got something to cheer about, guess what?..Time which we don’t get during normal situation. On busy day from morning bus to college, then reaching home in the evening by 6, and after exhausting all our energy, we hardly focus on our additional talents apart from studies.

But in last six months and even in the upcoming months, we have almost 4–5 hours a day apart from online classes. In these 4–5 hrs we can learn a new frame work, programming language or any domain related skills easily, the resources on the internet, various websites like Coursera, Udemy, Codecamp etc… provide lots of free courses as well as paid courses at an affordable price.

It lies in one’s hands to develop and upgrade his knowledge by focusing and planning the time he gets. One has to ignore the outside world, his own feelings, personal problems and sometimes unwanted overthinking. The previously mentioned factors will take a student or a person to miserable situations in life.

But once he or she avoids those factors and most importantly Mobile games and Web Series which eats lots of time. These days many students waste time in these games. I am not against these entertainment, but it should be in a limited amount. 1–2 hrs a day can be given for entertainment and relaxing.

FOCUS

It doesn’t matter whether it is 5 hrs or 1 hr. Its the concentration and effort we invest to achieve the daily target we set by planning.

We can define focus as center of interest

No matter what the age 17–21 decides a person’s future. If one focuses on the necessary and important things, he or she will succeed in life. One may ask its the age where one undergoes many changes and face many problems but I would say, we can control ourselves, if we think wisely and make wise decisions.

Now I’ll say the main and core concept to achieve in studies and placements.

The next big question is as a teenager who is pursuing bachelor degree, how can I focus by avoiding all the distractions and problems? So lets see how to focus.

How to focus?

I’ll explain this topic in point by point manner.

1. Choose a best, silent place to study. The room must not have television or gadgets like PlayStation, Xbox and more importantly mobile phone.
2. Put your mobile phone in silent mode, because its the main distraction we have in today’s world. Use laptop or computer for browsing.
3. Always have the habit of planning. But its in your hands to complete it.
4. If you are planning to study some core subjects of your respected streams, first find some useful and good YouTube Channels. So that we can learn concepts easily and save time.
5. Don’t get bored. Switch topics.
6. Listen to music while relaxing so your eyes wont get tired by straining.
7. Keep yourself engaged with something useful, so one can avoid unwanted thoughts.

All the above tips will be useful only if you control your mind. It can be done by meditation or by sitting alone and thinking about the important things we need to do in order to achieve.

A wavering mind cannot achieve anything.

With this I conclude this article and in my next article I’ll say about many resources and things we can do as an undergraduate student.
