How To Always Focus In School (3 Tips To Conquer A Boring Professor)

Not gonna lie, over the past few weeks, there have been a few professors that have been... well. Yeah. And on top of that, with things like break coming up, I have not always been in the right headspace to focus on my lectures. But, there are a few things that always help me out a little whenever I have a little bit of trouble focusing in lecture.

These are things that help ME out, some of them might not necessarily work for you, but in particular, the second tip is the thing you should probably pay attention to to help you be able to stand a lecture, even when it's boring. Sometimes, it's better to embrace certain distractions if they help you enhance the rest of the process, but be careful not to let things go too far out of reach.

Also, although it's not mentioned in this video because I don't personally do it, meditating 10 minutes a day can help you with your focus. Try it.

Enjoy.

These tips are so useful! Honestly changing my environment from my pajamas in bed to the library really made a big difference in my focus. Plus putting away my phone and other distractions has been a big help. Thanks for the content, happy studying everyone!

1. Environment - have a dedicated space for watching lectures + write down any things that try to steer you away from focus for later.

2. Preparation - preview the material beforehand + come up with questions + connect material.

3. If it’s too boring… if you must, have a specific fidget like spinning a pen that doesn’t completely distract you.

Hey josh do you think you could do a video on mental fatigue? Like I can study for 2 hours ( with breaks in between) but then my brain feels like my body dies after a HIIT workout

Rate my professor (website) is a life saver if you’re in the United States. Don’t suffer or get a bad grade because of a terrible teacher.
