IIT JEE , AIEEE Forum - Institutes & Courses , Counselling Zone - Distracted By Music During Studies

astrojith

I'm currently in 12th standard and as you may know, its getting nearer and nearer to exam that its crucial time right now. Recently, I've been feeling really unfocused. I don't know why.

I sit in for studying but start singing songs or think about it instead which is really affecting my productivity. And, at the end of the day, I go to bed, feeling unsatisfied and crappy.

Does anyone have a good suggestion to avoid this ?

RATES FOR ANYONE WHO REPLIES !!

NOTE : I know many would say "Only you can find your answers". But the thing is, I can't. I'm trapped. Please help.

Have you attended the Art of Living ? My grandmother used to. Then, I thought it was for old people who're really in to God and divinity.

Actually, I'm feeling kinda restless. Its like, I know that I've a lot to study, but I just can't sit and focus on one thing. Thats one reason I found, which is making me go for music at these times.

And, believe it or not, I keep feeling that I'm the only person having these troubles and that I'm really unusual (in modern language, I think I'm a freakshow !!) Is it true ?

Have you ever sit in more that 5-6 hours on just one lesson, searching for that missing bit ? Have you ever sought advice for lack of focus ?

Please help me :(

try 2 do meditation for 5 mins in the early morning times......
i hope it will help u a lot in cocentrating on ur studies.....

astrojith

Great suggestion, Varun. I actually do this regularly (for past 1 week). But not in the morning. I do it at 8pm at night. Does the time matter ?

look dude there is a very simple solution.......first of all take this out of your mind that songs decrease your productivity because they don't. they can act as an impetus to ur studies.the solution is that u study for half an hour and then listen to two songs and then again study for half an hour and so on.u have to urge urself to study for that half an hour.
one more thing mate, try to avoid hindi songs..........they are very distracting and listen to the western ones which are more soothing(avoid rap songs).
keep it like if u study for half an hour u will get to ;listen to the songs u like.........and it will become a motivating factor.
cheers!!!

yes ,your neurons in the brain are active when u wake up from a deep sleep.and also the atmosphere in the morning is very calm n peaceful hence it is advisable to do meditation in morning.and remember sabr ka phal meetha hota hai.it will surely help you but will take a bit of time.......

your conditions clearly indicates that you are losing interest in studies and feeling boredom during study.

So, mostly avoid solving same same questions again and again.....

don't stick to the theory part for whole day...........

avoid any kind of stress...........

and most important ENJOY STUDIES don't create a great tension in mind about it........

well well well...ur problem is a bit "hat ke"....

hmmm see i dun knw the perfect answer for ur query...but still m giving a try (i mean m asking u to try this)..

first of all....make ur study room...like a study room....i mean tv , pc and other entertainment stuff must nt be present there.....then set a min amt of syllabus that u have to cover (on a particular day)...u will nt sleep untill that much amt of syllabus is completed...but u can do more than that...

the thing u r lacking is confidence i suppose.....u have to gain it (as there is nt much time left...).....

forget all those songs...u must have only 1 aim...getting into IIT at any cost.....IIT must come 1st for u than any other thing....5 months of hardwork...can make ur life cool....(just concentrate on these things 1ce)

also meditation , u can do that too...lit will help u a lot

play any sport for 1 hour...it keeps u fresh..

ALL THE BEST :) :)

if u start singing during study then enjoy what u do i.e. enjoy that song..after dat song gets completed then think about it..how many minutes u wasted ? believe me enjoy dat song to the fulll & den u will see that u will get attracted by what u study....try this & tell me if it helps!!!

astrojith

Richa, thank u for the link to the Locus blog. It has a lot of resources. And, Chimanshu, you're right, I should be more focussed on my goals for IIT and other competitive exams.

But Shubham, I listen to mostly rap songs (Eminem, 50 Cent, Fat Joe etc). So, even if I enjoy, I feel like singing it again. lol. Currently, I'm taking all of your advice and testing which works best.

Rates for all !! :)
