Any tips for increasing concentration? I find it difficult to concentrate for looong periods at a time, after having taken a long break from mathematics. Before I could sit for hours and do calculations and reading. Now I just put down the book or turn to a distraction.

Any biological, practical or philosophical tips would be much appreciated! I need to increase my concentration!

  • There are some tips but several are illegal in some parts of the world...coffee may help during those looooooong nights of intensive study, though. – DonAntonio Oct 11 '13 at 23:32
  • I find regular exercise helps to increase my concentration and reduce the temptation of distractions. – Moss Oct 11 '13 at 23:39

    @DonAntonio I think coffee makes me fidget and get stressed, not pleasant! – Frederick G Oct 12 '13 at 00:17
  • Well @FrederickG : fidget and stressed is better than asleep one day before final exam... – DonAntonio Oct 12 '13 at 07:38

Avoid computers, phones, and televisions. If you are studying independently, make yourself assignments for the chapter you're working on, and don't read ahead till you've finished.
