➹ Psst! I caught you, u set down to study, only to find yourself three pages in and suddenly wondering what’s for dinner? Yeah, gotcha... but, Focus isn’t about forcing yourself to concentrate~ it’s about training your brain to WANT to. So let’s break it down together!💡 ➡ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 ‘𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗔𝗺 𝗜 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀’ 𝗠𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁👀 Your brain isn’t built for endless focus. In fact, it LOVES distractions (thanks, dopamine ╥﹏╥). 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁? 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁~ 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗲.

Create a pre-study ritual (lighting a candle, playing focus music, stretching). Your brain will associate it with ‘time to lock in.’🎯 2 | 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 5 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝘂𝗹𝗲⏳️ Feeling resistance? Tell yourself: “𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 5 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘴.”𝗡𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲. 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 . Once you do, your brain hates leaving things unfinished (𝑖𝑡’𝑠 𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝒉𝑒 𝑍𝑒𝑖𝑔𝑎𝑟𝑛𝑖𝑘 𝐸𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑐𝑡). Before you know it? 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘇𝗼𝗻𝗲. 3 | 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝘁𝗵𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲✨️ No one runs a marathon on day one. Focus works the same way. then gradually increase. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁, 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽-𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 (𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 25 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘀), Think of it as leveling up your brain~ the more you train, the longer you last♡ 4 | 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘁𝘆 Your mind loves new things. So 𝘀𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗿. Small changes keep your brain engaged. 🧠 5 | 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗕𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘪𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦. 𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘵.💨 ❥ Best break trick? The 50/10 rule~ study for 50 mins, break for 10. ❥ MOVE during your break. Walk, stretch, breathe.. not scroll !!! ❥ Use breaks as rewards (like ‘Finish 2 sections, get a snack’). Breaks help your brain absorb information. Smart students don’t skip them. 6 | 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝗮 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 “𝗗𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻” 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘃𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗲 “𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲” 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀, 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗮 “𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.” For example: “By the end of today, I’ll master this chapter.” A clear finish line keeps you mentally charged, and when you cross it, your brain will feel accomplished🦩 7 | 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 “𝗱𝗼-𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿.” Instead of pushing through when u're scattered, hit pause and reset. Re-organize ur study space, step back, and come back with fresh eyes. You’d be surprised how starting with a blank slate can bring clarity. 8 | 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝘂𝗰𝗲: 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗦𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 I know it sounds silly, but hear me out~ study sessions paired with a snack challenge (choose something healthy) actually programs your brain to associate focus with rewards. Just make sure it’s something energizing, not sugar heavy that’ll crash you mid study. 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹~ 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝗸𝘆𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁! 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝘂𝗽? you've got this, champ🕊
