What are some ways to increase concentration?

Stop surfing the Internet and get down to work.\n\nI spent several years doing what would have been a masters course and had to cut it short to become a bachelors because I didn't care at the time - only later once I realised what chance I'd thrown away did I regret it. You only really have one chance to 'get it right this time'. Your future employment prospects will depend on what you achieve. Don't throw away that chance - it will be hugely expensive in the long run and you will if you're like me regret it for years to come.\n\nMost people, when they get close to the end of something big that's been dragging on lose enthusiasm, I'd say that's what's happening to you.\n\nStart early in the day, but not so early that it damages your ability to work,  pick up everything you need to complete the assignment, go somewhere quiet where you can concentrate but won't fall asleep (a library?), drink some coffee to keep you alert. Plan the use of the available time, so that you devote say 10% of your time to the task which counts for 10% of the marks - if it's that kind of assignment.\n\nGood luck, it's almost over.

I always found if I put myself in a small room with no other distractions, I could concentrate better.\n\nWrite things down, it helps you remember.\n\nMake up little hints to help you remember lists of facts...for example "my very efficient mother just served us nine pizzas" is a good way to remember the 9 planets.  So you could make up your own little sentence if you had to memorize the supreme court judges or the 5 senses, or whatever.

If you lose your concentration in studies, something disturb is there in your mind. So, first you can find the solution for that, fix some commitment for that. Then you start the study. Take 10Mt's.break for every 30 to 45 Mt's between studies. Listen melodies music or meditation or magazine.

im 16 and so far these habits have really helped me concentrate; and by concentrating you can get your work done in half the time. sit at a tidy desk. make sure the area is well-lit, and sit straight on ur chair. dont play any music etc, and try to concentrate as hard as you can without daydreaming. you should hopefully feel better about studying. :)

Go to the internet under Psychokinesis they have online free tests to take and give you some examples of things to practice to heightened your senses. It's fun, try it.

i am sorry to say this but there is no other way except practice and read a lot of novels to increase your knowledge and vocab. when you do practice just one or two journals a day and read at least 30 pages of a book a day then you will increase your capability in writing\nwhen the time comes to write things you can easily write\n\n4 steps: plan what to write, write down, re-write (checking the mistakes and etc), and edit

Ginko Biloba helps me concentrate.  Vitamin B gives you energy.  Perhaps the combination could help ya.

To increase your brains memory capacity you could try exercising it. Read a page of a book over & over untill it sticks, just like actors do with a script. Or memorise your supermarket receipt everytime you go shopping.\nFish oils also help. You can get fish capsules(omega 3) from any health shop/ supermarket/ pharmacy.

One of the most sure way of increasing the percentage of brainpower you use (not neccesarry regarding to what we define as intelligence) is to use the age old technique of the East : Meditation. Performing Yoga under supervision, can also be very rewarding in this aspect. However, it has to be done carefully, as too much of either can have devastating results. So, good luck.

Sit in a comfortable position, with a straight spine, and the eyes either closed, or out of focus.\n\nThis is a good one to teach our mind to concentrate, called the twenty-four second meditation. It involves picturing numbers made up of dots as shown on large digital displays. We commence by picturing the digits 24. When we can clearly visualise each dot which makes each of the two digits two and four, then we move to 23, and 22. The concentration on the dots helps to eliminate other thoughts from the mind, and with a little practice over a few days, we are able to move from 24 down through all the digits to 0. If another thought enters our mind during this process, then we must start again. This is why it takes a few days before we are able to succeed Once we can succeed then we are achieving an alpha state of mind, which is relaxed, and free of the linear thought process. This is the state of mind required for deep meditation, which we discuss later.\n\nhttp://dgwa1.fortunecity.com/mind/fastrack119.html

Meditation is a great one.  There are hundreds of ways to meditate.  One thing that works very well for me is to get your hands busy doing something they know how to do well, so only a small fraction of your awareness needs to be focused on that project.  (I cover hexagons in the English paper piecing method of quilting.)  Then let your mind wander where it will, avoiding focus on anything in particular, until you can feel the peace and quiet.\n\nMy Methodist Sunday School teacher mother used to say prayer is talking to God, and meditation is listening to God.  If this description works for you, it's probably all you need.  Get quiet and listen.\n\nAs to increasing concentration at the moment you need it, start with a meditation/prayer for focus.  It may help to align yourself to the four quarters (north, east, south, west) in order to feel at the center of the universe.  Which is to say, at the center of that compass rose you have just defined.\n\nIf you live where it's legal, marijuana can increase concentration quite remarkably.  If you live where it is illegal, the paranoia may be sufficient distraction to ruin that effect.  Pity; ought to be legal.

Take notes, but don't simply write the words your teacher says but paraphrase his or her words. This will engage your mind and also help you process the information. When your brain feels it is doing something rather than simply sitting back you will find your concentration increase. Also ask your teacher questions. This will further engage you and shift the focus of your mind so when he or she begins to talk again you concentration will be in a way reset.

Turn off your stereo.  Turn off you I Pod.  Or if you can't live without music, try listening to classical music or smoothe instrumental jazz music.  Vocal music was always a big distraction for me when I was studying in college.  Instrumental music helped me concentrate.  \n\nThe book "The Mozart Effect" has very interesting insights regarding music and brain function.

LOL.....I've got the same problem.  I'm not sure how to stay focused.  One of my teachers suggested we take peppermint candies and suck on them.  The mintiness keeps you alert and awake.
