My top tips for focus and concentration 

It's exam time for many of you, and maybe a good time to remind yourself how you can get back into the best version of your fully concentrated self.
Some of these things you probably do already, others maybe not so much? 
 

  • Eat well – protein, fat, vegetables and some slow release carbohydrate 2-3 times daily  

 

  • Have a designated work-space 

 

  • Limit/remove distractions 

 

  • Use study apps like pomodoro 

 

  • Music such as Alpha waves or Binural beats helps boost brain function  

 

  • Take regular breaks 

 

  • Don’t overdo the caffeine 

 

  • Use your vices as productivity rewards – "I can play xbox once I finish this draft"

 

  • If it’s not happening take a proper break, do something you love, get outside try and come back to it when you feel ready.
