How to Stay Focused While Preparing for Competitive Exams
Preparing for government exams like SSC, UPSC, or Banking can be exhausting. With distractions everywhere, staying focused becomes the biggest challenge.
Here are a few simple tricks to level up your prep game:
- Create a Realistic Timetable: Plan small sessions with breaks in between. Overloading won’t help.
- Use the Pomodoro Technique: Study for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. Repeat 4 times, then take a longer break.
- Keep Your Phone Away: Turn on DND or study in airplane mode. No one’s dying if you reply later!
- Eat Right, Sleep Tight: A fresh mind = better focus. Don’t mess with your body clock.
- Revise Weekly: Just reading is not enough. Revision sticks it in your long-term memory.
Stay consistent. You don’t need to be perfect — just better than yesterday.
