How can I concentrate when I study ?!


Question: You see I try my best to concentrate but then I let my mind wonder off. I usually just open my book stare at the book and think of some hot girl in college,about sex or new tactics on how to improve in my video games etc.

I cant sit in one place for 10 minutes. When in class I have full concentration and listen to everything that the lecturer says and understand it,but the next day I completely forget about everything that I have learned,why does this happen ??

I am a heavy smoker,could it be that it is affecting my brain cells or something??

And if I try listening to music the lyrics will be usually stuck in my head for the whole day,and in the second place I need dead silence to study.

I have my final exams coming in another 2 days and I am just idling around,could someone please help me??

PS - whats the meaning of ADD?? And please no advice on telling me to stop smoking,I have been doing it since 13.

jst breathe relax and concentrate

Go into your room where it is quiet, dont watch tv or listen to music. THis helps me a lot!

Listening to classical music really helps me study...don't try to study all day long. You need to do it in spurts and then take a break in between. Try studying for 45 minutes and then take a 15 minute break. Set a timer.

ADD is Attention Deficit Disorder
you said not to mention smoking, but that's a big part of it. This a little over the top, but turning the lecture into a song, would help. Try acronyms to remember stuff. You got it real bad! Good luck!!

ADD - some type of attention disorder theres also ADHD thats an attention disorder and your also hyper !
Good Luck

Try making small goals for yourself and doing them and taking a break then going at it again. Try a library?

drink loads of water

and maybe read the words out to yourself from the book so you remeber what your eading

if you cant sit down for long periods of time how about every half an hour or so just read a page or two then go back it may sound dtupid but worth a try

Use classical music instead. Something to drown out the outside noises.
I used to go to an out of the place coffee shop and study there. It was loud and crazy, but it was the easiest place to go where *I* was not distracted by friends and family.

ADD is Attention Deficit Disorder. Do a search on it.

you could try a small amount of caffiene, if you don't use too much it can help you focus better.

ADD is attention deficit disorder, there are a ton of different symptoms of it and being unable to focus and sit still are some. though usually the inability to sit still or having to move a lot is more common of ADHD: attention deficit hyperactive disorder. most likely its either minor ADHD or ADD. a medication like adderall could help as well if you have access to a doctor who will prescribe it.

well you can think of AIDS it will puy you off sex
and video games think of the worst level or the place u get stuck in
and music does not take away ur cncentarition if u listen while studying it really helps me
and i dunno wot add means

A technique for learning what you are studying is to see if you can get it on audio. Then if you can this will give you the opportunity to listen to it more than once, which will help to put it into your long term memory. This helps by reinforcing your short term memory. Think of your short term memory as a path into the mind. As with any path the more you travel it the more worn it gets and this will reinforce your long term memory. If possible take a small pocket recorder to class and then you'll be able to hear the lecture again and again. Like with the music. You probably don't listen to the same song just once. If it's something you like you play more than once. Thus you can replay it in your head.

these music affect grealty the mind and soul. make small break,good ventilation.meditate on nature in nature
