below I will give you some tips that I hope can help you on focusing more on your current tasks/projects.

1. Make sure that your body is well prepared for the current task/project.
   Believe me when your body isn’t feeling so well, it would be really hard to concentrate, it’s better for you to get enough rest and therefor increase your effectiveness, rather than forcing yourself through the project. but of course if you’re on a tight deadline you may want to skip this step.
   note: please differentiate between not having a fit body and laziness.
2. Remove any possible distraction from you.
   There are lots of things that could make us off-track from our current task, so be sure to remove any of it before starting your task. here are some of it :
   • Turning off your TV/Radio unless you work better with noises (as some of us do).
   • If you’re working on a computer, turn off all of unrelated programs/application, and any unnecessary website that doesn’t have anything to do with your current task -and yes that would include social site, news feeder, and email too-.
   • Have only related items on your desk, put away everything else that would distract you. Keep it clean, simple and related.
   • Put a “don’t disturb” sign on your door, or just tell them that your don’t want to be disturb for the current time so your family would understand, and I’m sure they would gladly support you.
3. Create a plan for your tasks.
   I know this would take time on its own, but trust me its worthed since this can help you to keep track with your current tasks. Here are some tips for creating your plan.
   • Understand what is the overall tasks, and break them down into smaller task.
   • If it’s a big project and you wouldn’t be able to finish it for a day, then insert those mini tasks into your day planning.
   • Set a mini deadline for each of the small tasks use a timer, and give small rewards to yourself each time you finish one, like stretch your body or just get a fresh air for a minute.
4. Put the plan in a place when you can see it all the time (when your doing your tasks).
5. Now act! act! act!, those previous step would become useless if you don’t act, do your tasks with discipline and stick to your plan but don’t be to strict to yourself, remember plans were made to keep us on track, not to make us like a programmed robot .
6. Give yourself another rewards, for finishing your tasks on the end of the day, finishing half of your project, and fully completed your project. The point is to keep yourself motivated.

Cheers, and keep on focus

1. Prepare a designated notebook for each subject, or you can just use one notebook, but remember not to mix them up, separate them properly.
2. Every time you finish a chapter in class, make a summary about it, and don’t forget to write the key point of what you learned.
3. Review them once a week, just use the summary and key point, you only need to read from the notebook if you forget about something.
4. Create a mind maps, with image and graphics, this will help you review your lesson faster.
5. If you have time , try to get more information about a topic from the internet, library, and take a note about it, this will help you to understand about a topic better.
6. Set yourself a study time, choose time when you’re not tired, and less distracted.
7. Join a study group or create one, this will help you when you don’t understand about a particular problem in a subject and share ideas and thought about it.

Now you should feel confident about exams, now the following tips would cover about what you should do when you’re facing exams:

1. Mark the time of the exams on your calendar, so you can be prepared when the time comes.
2. Do a try out exams, you can do this with your study groups, every one to create a question, combine them and do them.
3. Get enough rest at night before the exams. seriously it is harder to concentrate when you don’t have enough sleep.
4. When studying, study the hardest one first, this is because if you study the easiest one first, then when you get to the hard part, you would be too tired, and combine with the facts that they’re hard it would be much much more harder to understand it.

Good luck.
