Concentration is important for efficient learning. If you let yourself to be distracted it will take you much longer to study material than someone who is not distracted. Unfortunately there are many things which are designed to distract you, often without you noticing.

Concentration means to focus attention on one thing. It means that you will not be distracted from the main. In a learning environment there are many things that break your concentration. That is unfortunate, because the brains can only do one thing at a time.

Distraction can occur in several ways. Maybe your head is filled with all sorts of things. You can be distracted by sounds around you, or you find that substance simply not interesting. Remember that all the distractions the efficiency does not benefit. It is therefore important to focus yourself.

If your head is full of many things you have to make a “to do” list . Put the list in a place where your eye falls on it occasionally, so you have to be reminded. Put a pin in the list so you can add if necessary at any time, so you should in any case is not distracted.

Make sure that your brains produce alpha waves. If you are in the alpha state, you’re relaxed. You can then use your brains full: You are alert. You can stimulate your brains in the alpha state to come by for some music. This music is only instrumental and usually has a rhythm of 60 beats per minute. Examples include the Chopin Waltzes, Canon in D. Haffnersymfonie by Pachelbel and thePrague Symphony and Mozart. Let this ” baroque music “playing softly in the background.
Ensure also that you are not disturbed, because after a failure you are anyway not in the alpha state. Make sure you breathe deeply and calmly, since this also fall into the alpha state promotes.
Make sure you are not distracted by outside noise. Sound-producing objects, the merger will not benefit (the only exception is the aforementioned “alpha music”). Even though you might not work so well in the living room, the television or with people around you, in a quiet place you can concentrate better. Every time you’re interrupted again because you must focus on your work and pick up the thread (and you also brought out your alpha state). Turn off your mobile including, without work and computer programs that you do not need.

Provide an uncluttered environment. Tidy your room and throw away what way can. Make sure nothing on your desk is distracting. Research has shown that in a clean office productivity improves to 15%.
Work in a fixed pattern. For example, work in blocks of the same time. Make sure you break every hour inlast. This also ensures that every hour have a beginning and an end point. At this point save the most. Example, if you three hours at a stretch working, you have only a starting point and an endpoint. If you work three hours with a break every hour, you have three starting points and three endpoints.

Study during your best hours. In your best hours you can best focus. In many people, these hours in the morning, and especially right after you’ve eaten.
Make sure everything you need at your fingertips. Again, any interruption takes you out of your alpha state, and allows you to re-focus.

Juggling promotes concentration. In addition, people who juggle have larger brains, because you need both hands and thereby promotes cooperation between your two brain hemispheres. Juggling for example during a break.
