hey just place a chart in ur room and write ur goals and write something +ve on it and it should be in ur study room and keep looking at it then u will surely realise and would be able to study all the best

waterdemon

Hey dude,

You are just my kind of person.
Yes,but that does not mean that I get distracted even now.

I like listenign to Eminem,Evanessence,LP,Metallica too at
times during studying but "I don't get distracted now"

See do one thing that I suggest even I had this problem
some 5-6 months back and got rid of by idea of my friend

If you have an IpoD then put all your favourite songs on
"play" and keep listening to them on Low Volume.
I guarantee you that you won't have to leave listening to
music and also won't have to get any sorts of problem to
your concentration energy.

But I think you msut do "meditation" not bcoz of music &
singing but bcoz it is useful.

Beleive it or not.......I am listening to metallica now on my
PC but on low volume while typing this message to you.

And dude "DON'T JOIN ANY ART OF LIVING"
Do it when you have cleared your IIT.
You don't have much time to do all this.

Hope you find it useful.

Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!

hahaa bhai astrojith tension mat le.. mera same haal hai. the only cure is listen to different songs all the time so that u dont remember any one song.. and it is easy to study after u have just listened to a particular song for the first time. plug in ur ears with musics while studying. it will take time but slowly ull get sick of tht music and concentrate properly. i went to art of living too.. but u have to follow those principles properly.. and first do wht i told ya :)

astrojith

Hmm.... wouldn't kinda take up your energy of focus ? And more importantly, isn't it dangerous if it becomes a habit ? I'm afraid of this because most of the time, you would be forced to study without iPods and all.

Bring urself to a lonely place and think................
are u doing justice to urself
if u get a good college it is u whose life will change and not ur friends
read some inspirational stories for some time and just think
if other humans can acheive a goal why cant u???????
AFTERALL U ARE ALSO A HUMAN
IIT JEE tests ur mental prepardness for the exam
so just think about JEE and nothing else forget rap songs
forget cricket
forget movies
there is just one aim ---------------IIT JEE
before u think of a song just stop and try to think how much time are
u going to waste
do meditation as said earlier . may help u
well i have tried my best to help u but it is u who can ultimately change urself
so ALL THE BEST.............................

astrojith

Yeah, apurv. I guess it goes to show that "Only you can find answers to your questions". But, the suggestions were magnificent. I'm having trouble appeasing my mind while on meditation though.

While meditating, we're supposed to concentrate on some thought, right ? In my case, I'm concentrating all right. But on random thoughts. Sheesh. Really tedious work.

i too had the same diificulty when i started meditating initially
if u can set some spritual music(not song) in the background while meditating u may get some relief
it may seem diificult now but try it
u can definetely do it........

mujtaba4iit

Hii there!!
U need a short-cut to go with furthur studies. The short-cut is that u do a little meditation in the morning and take an oath frm urself that i m not going to sing while studying. Also try to prepare ur next day timetable in ur memory at bedtime. Simply preparing a written timetable and pasting it near ur bed doesnt helps!!!!!
Have confidence and go ahead!!!!!!!
Good luck!!!

deedee

i 2 listen 2 musik while studyin.........

only durin maths,.....& physics,.............(while solvin q)

.......i m wid spidey 4 that matter....after sum time u really get damn bored ............& feel like studyin..............

& relly......wen u study,................sumtimes it happens that ur so damn engrossed in ur studzzzzzz that u don t even knw wen d song ends,.........

so.................it doesnt matter.......

so b cool.................don take tension........

study well..............best luck,.........

ridhima

this will require mental determination

each time u do this ... force yourself do say NO loudly..
speak this again and again untill u actually realise that its just a waste of time..
initially it will be tough .. but in a few days it will surely make u forget about them...
and stop watching music channels and listening to radio....so that ur mind does not get diverted towards it..
cheers rate if useful

astrojith

Hey, unwashed masses, I'm actually making progress with this problem. I mean, yesterday I started to listen to the same songs almost 13 times and snap, now I'm sick of it.

I get more concentration. I was really really motivated to study this morning. But, it kinda wore off. Its really tough to tap into these rah-rah moments.

Any idea about how to motivate yourself when you need it ? Might need some help here. Oh, and BTW, rated all !!

dip_xaverian

well ur predicament us very similar to mine. Even i am restless and cannot focus on my studies without music. So I found the best thing was to listen to songs which u hvnt heard before or u rnt familiar with the song. so this way u dont start singing along with the song. Also u shud listen to slow jazz instrumentals. Beleive they increase concentration.

loyalgooner

Something similar happened with me too. I would listen to a lot of songs then i was not able to concentrate on my studies a lot coz i would sing the songs in my mind and i couldnt help it. Then i just locked up my ipod and the memory stick of my mobile phone in the cupboard and then the problem was solved!
