First master-post. Thank you all so much for following me! Message me if any links are broken or if you want me to add more stuff. All the people I mentioned, thank you all for making those posts. They seriously help me so much. :D
Lots of apps and tips that help me a lot.
A. Get rest + take breaks. In order to be able to concentrate, you need to be properly rested. Let’s be realistic though, no one is gonna sleep at 9 with their finals round the corner. It’s obvious but it won’t help when you’re mind is wandering off and you’re tired. So take a power nap when you’re tired.
Even if you’re not tired, even if it’s 3:00 A.M, don’t think “What’s the point of sleeping now?” Just go to sleep, and trust me. It willhelp.
Take breaks too! Find out the ratio that works for you best (example: 45 minutes of studies + a 10 minute break). Don’t study on long stretches. Breaks help refresh your mind. Preferably don’t use your phone either. Take a walk, eat a fruit or something. Try rewarding yourself.
B. Environment. It’s sometimes too loud or too quiet and you can’t help it. Try listening to some nice classical music or instrumental music to help you concentrate. This is not for everyone but if you’re like me and need music to study, here are some awesome playlists:
C: Focus. Refrain from using social media. If you’re like me, then you would understand when I say that it’s like a black hole. Use an app to block websites like facebook, tumblr etc. when you need your electronic devices for studying.
Or just switch to airplane mode! I do this all the time. You won’t be distracted by texts, WiFi etc. You can even do this on your pc/ laptop.
D. Plan + Get organised. ik, that’s what everyone says but it’s solid advice. Spending a couple of minutes planning the day and it can save a lotof time.
Or Make a Bullet Journal: A nice way to stimulate your creativity. I feel that when you actually write stuff down, it gives them a tangible, solid form. So I find bullet journals perfect.
Doesn’t have to be fancy
All you artsy peeps can take advantage and have fun
Take action immediately. This is the habit that sets highly productive people apart.
Striving for perfection can be a help or a hindrance, depending on the stakes, so save the nit-picky attitude for when they’re especially high. Like your job application.
Do the task that you’re more likely to procrastinate on first . And that way you’ll know that it was the worst thing you had to do for the day.
E. Find Out what technique is most effective for you. Find out what works for you. If you’re a visual leaner, make mind maps etc. If you’re an auditory learner, try listening to Youtube videos, talk to yourself.
The old masters. I tried not to include most opera composers, since singing/lyrics interfere with concentration. Most of these playlists are at least an hour long:

ANIME SOUNDTRACKS
You’ll look like weeaboo trash, but at least you’ll be concentrating. You might need to skip a few tracks here and there if they have lyrics (that messes up my concentration, at least). That said, here’s some recommended playlists:
Elfen Lied (flowy and pretty)
Tokyo Ghoul √A (powerful, electronic, heart-wrenching)
Like I said, this isn’t a complete list but hopefully a good jumping-off point. Feel free to add to areas with your own suggestions. Have fun listening and go be productive!
Hypnosis is a state of human consciousness involving focused attention and reduced peripheral awareness and an enhanced capacity to respond to suggestion.
Physicians and psychologists may use hypnosis to treat depression, anxiety, eating disorders, sleep disorders, compulsive gambling, and posttraumatic stress, while certified hypnotherapists who are not physicians or psychologists often treat smoking and weight management. $
Matcha thick shake with raspberry powder, pomegranate and blueberries…what am i waiting for!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Matcha enhances calm, boosts memory and concentration, increases energy and levels of endurance, detoxifies the body, builds immunity and improves cholesterol✨
I wanted to share this for awesome apps/programms with you:
1. Sleep Better
- you can tell this app when you have to wake up in the morning & then tell it that you’ll go to sleep. the app will wake you up, when your body is the out of the deep sleep!
2. To Bed
- you can tell this app when you need to get up in the next morning, and it tells you when to go to sleep
3. Forest
- I’m sure you already heared of this, this app makes you stay focused on work or let’s you give a mobile free time with friends
4. Tap Unicef
- This website (bookmark it on your phone) makes you stay focused & does good! For every 15 minutes you don’t touch your phone will one kid get a glass of water donated!
Agatha starts Heterodyning - she’s humming a strange melody while thinking about science. It helps her with her concentration but Merlot clearly isn’t a fan.
