If you’re tempted to do something else other than the task at hand, make a note of the activity and continue with the task. When you’re on a break, do the activity. This neat trick helps overcome procrastination.

Seeing results keeps you going. It’s the same while studying. Finishing simple tasks first will inspire you to stay focused to take on the bigger ones. Start by covering easy topics first and move to the complex ones later.

Remember to reward yourself after study sessions. This will help you celebrate your wins and also stay focused because you know there’s a cake or a spa session waiting after all the hard work.
