How to stay focused on work you need to complete

DO WHAT YOU NEED BEFOREHAND

  • Eat, drink before working, too much can have a negative effect
  • Make use of the washroom now rather than later
  • Do whatever else now so you won't have to while in the middle of work

PREPARATION

  • Gather all supplies you need complete your work
  • Calculate your time you intend to work and plan it out
  • Add in short breaks, don't stray off for too long

ELIMINATE YOUR DISTRACTIONS

  • Turn off phones, computer, tv, and other electronics
  • If you are using the computer, don't turn on an internet browser
  • Eliminate other potential distractions, can be noisy neighbours due to open window etc...

IDEAL WORKING ENVIRONMENT

  • Make sure your work area is comfortable, if not, change location
  • If home isn't the ideal place, try a quiet place like the library
  • Do take notice of the lighting, working at well-lit to medium-lit place is better than the dark

EASE IN, DON'T FORCE IT

  • Start out slow, focusing does not happen right away
  • Convincing yourself you are interested in you work helps, even if it's a lie
  • Do not think of unnecessary things aside from your work

ELAX, DON'T THINK NEGATIVELY

  • Rushing through something is not a good idea, even if your time is severely limited
  • Taking it slowly and accurately is better than being rash about it
  • Work on the easier problems first if possible, it helps you getting focus easier as it gives a sense of accomplishment

THINK OF THE CONSEQUENCES

  • If you are unable to get motivated to do what you need to do
  • Think of the consequences, does it need to be done?, what will happen if you don't do it
  • Is this worth doing, or is thing something you can afford to not do
  • The mindset behind this is that if it's something important, you will have to do it either way

How to deal with bullies at school

deal with bullies at school

Avoiding

  • Mainly for bullies that are not persistent
  • Avoid contact before, during, and after class
  • If it's occurring after class, don't be afraid to leave a few minutes early

Talking To Teachers

  • This seems stupid, how could it work?
  • Take a different approach, do not talk to teachers who can't handle their class's troublemakers
  • Approach and talk to serious teachers that can maintain order in their class
  • Explain the situation, this can escalate to the principal if it's serious enough

Stick To Friends

  • A lot of the times bullying occurs is when the victim is alone
  • If this isn't possible in the current situation, blend in a crowd
  • Bullies do not often want to make a scene, as they intend to get away with it

Ignore Them

  • If you can take it, take it, don't hold a grudge
  • Think of them as idiots who do stupid things because they are idiots
  • School is only a small part of one's life
  • Eventually they may give up as they aren't getting the results they want

Talking To Parents

  • They are always there for you, don't hold the burden by yourself
  • Explain to them what's happening, even if there's no instant results
  • Talking to others about it is better than keeping it all to yourself
  • Parents are there to help you, it is your responsibility to ask for it

Stand Up For Yourself

  • As mentioned above, bullies do what they do because they intend to get away with it
  • Stand up for yourself, tell them you aren't going to deal with their crap anymore
  • Fighting back can lead to trouble to both sides, use your own judgement, think before action

Last Resort

  • If you cannot take it anymore, go all out
  • One way too do this is if it's that serious, call the police, they will hear you out
  • Take it through legal court, create evidence such as video recordings, give them one last warning
