Letting your attention drift in class is not only a bad habit, but also very damaging to your average grades! Being able to concentrate in the classroom proves to teachers that you are a capable student, but it also shows that you are mature enough and have sufficient self-control, which will be very important in your future life.

To step

Method 1 of 4: Create the conditions

1. Get a good night's sleep. Students have at least Nine hours of sleep per night. However, it is sometimes difficult to maintain good sleeping habits. Set up a sleep routine and go to bed around the same time every night. Your brain won't be able to concentrate if it's not rested ... your brain needs a break!
2. Eat a healthy breakfast. While this may seem irrelevant for focusing in class, a nutritious breakfast will give you new energy for the whole day. Remember: a healthy breakfast doesn't necessarily mean a heavy breakfast. Two slices of toast, fresh orange juice (with pulp if possible) and a few hard-boiled eggs is an example of a good breakfast. Eating a meal like this will leave you feeling more energized and less sleepy for the rest of the day - paying attention will then be a lot easier.

Method 2 of 4: Avoid distractions

1. Sit at the front of the classroom. This helps you concentrate, as it is easier to look forward than back.
   • This also helps you to better hear and understand the teacher what he / she is talking about.
2. Don't sit with friends. While the urge to sit with your friends can be very strong, it's best to avoid that temptation. Talking to friends won't give you the focus you need to keep up during class. Not only will this get you in trouble, but it will take your concentration down overall. If you feel the urge to talk to a classmate sitting next to you, ask your teacher if you can sit elsewhere (some will say you should decide for yourself). However, let the friend know (outside of class!) That this is not intended to offend him or her; you just want to be able to concentrate.
   • If you do sit next to friends, they can keep you alert if you get distracted, but don't let them distract you! When they talk, respond quickly to what they say and then immediately look back at the teacher and resume your notes. Keep your ears open for comments such as "This is important" or "Listen carefully," or phrases that might indicate something you need to know.
3. Avoid any other distraction. Some people simply get distracted very easily - and that's okay in itself. The problem becomes annoying when distraction prevents us from learning. Are you distracted by that water bottle? Get the thing off your desk immediately. What about the gum you're chewing on? Discard it and continue taking notes. By eliminating these distractions (even if you don't want to), you will quickly be able to turn your attention back to the teacher during each lesson.

Method 3 of 4: Be attentive during class

1. Look at the teacher and make eye contact. Teachers don't just stand there talking - they are trying to give you clearly acceptable education. Shows that they have your full attention by looking them in the eye and observing their movements. Try to look alert. If you notice that your gaze drifts to something else in the classroom, repair yourself and focus on your teacher again. This person must receive your full attention at all times during class. Your eyes should not stray.
2. Know what your goal is. Most teachers will tell you the topic of the lesson at the start. If possible, write down this objective immediately. What is it that must be done today? What are you going to learn? How can you stay alert and focused during this hour? Set goals and remind yourself of those goals throughout the lesson. That way you know exactly what to do.
3. Make notes. By taking accurate notes, you will be able to get "into" the lesson. Recognize the important points your teacher mentions, and pay attention to key phrases such as, "This is important," "This is the main idea," "This will be overheard," etc. This can help you to be more mindful and do something. to do and to establish yourself.
   • Objectives: If your teacher normally writes down what the objective is at the beginning of each lesson, keep this in mind and make sure you have achieved it by the end of the lesson.
   • Don't try to finish your old notes or homework in class. You can do this later if you have time to spare, otherwise you may miss important material.
4. Participate in class discussions. This is a wonderful way to be a more focused, successful student. When a teacher asks a question, try to formulate an answer. If he / she asks your opinion, give it. Then it is clear to the teacher that you are there during the lesson, and that you know what it is about. This can also help avoid those painful moments when you are asked a question and you just happen to not be there. Teachers will also discuss with each other that you are actively contributing to the lesson.
5. Ask a Question. If you don't understand something, dare to ask. This really shows your teacher that you want to do better, and can clarify what material you are having trouble with. Chances are, someone else in class has the same question (and was afraid to ask!). He will be relieved - just like you.
6. Do your best. When you walk into that classroom, put a smile on your face and fill yourself with confidence. Be the best version of yourself all the time, and show your true potential!

Method 4 of 4: Stay focused

1. Listen to music during the break. It's very refreshing and can clear your mind between boxes, which will improve your productivity. But don't get carried away by the music.
2. Visualize your future. Before going to bed at night, use your imagination and think about how you see yourself in the future, and how likely you are to achieve that dream, without enough skill to focus on a non-academic dream. such as sports and music, etc. As a footballer you also need the skill to concentrate, so don't cross this one off your list! Don't get distracted at school. Be smart and do the right things.

Tips

• Sit up straight and watch not to the clock to see if it's time yet.
• Prepare for tests, projects and the lessons in general! This will help you feel more confident during tests, when you're working on a project, etc.
• Always clear your mind after each lesson so that you are fresh for the next lesson.
• Write your notes in a notebook. That way they are clear and readable for the next lesson.
• Do not constantly stare at the clock, as this will make the lesson last longer in your opinion.
• Know that class will eventually be over, so make the most of it!

• Don't chat with friends during class or you'll get distracted and miss important information.
• Avoid bad friends - this will help you focus more on your studies.

Warnings

• Avoid the more talkative friends. They can distract you from your work.
• If the teacher makes you feel uncomfortable, talk to your parents, counselor, or the principal of the school. Understand that there is usually a teacher you don't "get along with", but they shouldn't make you feel uncomfortable.
