Hi,
I’ve been facing problem with concentration since past 6 years. My family thinks that I’m dumb since I always sit with a book but still score way less marks. Truth is I study a day before exam and score marks (76% in 10th and 85% in 12th). I sit with a book and try to study but I cannot focus for long and tend to get distracted. No it isn’t about the phone, I’ve tried keeping my devices in another room but still I fail to focus for long.
The problem started when I was in sixth grade and went to coaching after school. Till sixth grade I was one of the top students in class. But slowly my performance started declining. My daily schedule was - Wake up in the morning, go to school, return from school, have lunch and leave for coaching immediately, and stay there till 9pm, come back home home, have dinner, do home work and go to sleep at 12 AM. There was no time for self study so I fell out of the habit of self studying and I’m facing the consequences years later since I’ve to prepare for competitive exams.
What do you all suggest so that I can focus on studying and not wander in my thoughts and so that I don’t give into distractions?
