Does your mind wander when you need to study? Here is a deceptively simple strategy that is probably the most effective out there.

When you notice your thoughts wandering astray, say to yourself

“Be here now”

and bring your attention back to where you want it.

For example:
You’re studying and your attention strays to a family issue, to the fact that you’re hungry…… Say to yourself

“Be here now”

Focus back on subject with questions, summarizing, outlining, and other study methods and maintain your attention there as long as possible. Breaking your studies into smaller chunks through these activities will help greatly.

So… when it wanders again, repeat

“Be here now”

and bring your attention back. Continue this practice, repeatedly. It will work!
