Question

Discuss with your psychology teacher about how to increase your attention in studies by minimizing the distractions that may be caused by the following distractors:

1. Social media
2. Mobile
3. Environmental distractions
4. Physiological discomfort, etc.

Answer 1

1. Social media: Avoid checking social media while studying. Keep social media apps closed or use them only during planned breaks.
2. Mobile: Keep the mobile phone away from the study table or switch it to silent/do-not-disturb mode. Use it only when necessary for studies.
3. Environmental distractions: Use noise-canceling headphones with white or brown noise, and clear everything off your desk except what you need for the current task.
4. Physiological discomfort: Sit comfortably, maintain proper posture, take short breaks, drink enough water and ensure adequate sleep and rest.
