How can I concentrate better?

Address 5 core psychological factors that affect concentration. Here is how.

1. Intrinsic motivation – Do you really want to concentrate?
2. Distraction & stimulation – Can your brain manage your current balance of things that distract you and things that stimulate you?
3. Your perceived ability to learn – Can you imagine yourself handling your study workload? Do you believe you can conquer it?
4. Selecting what to focus on – Do you really know what you need to focus on? Do you know what you should concentrate on first?
5. Mental and physical resources to concentrate – Is your body and brain in the right condition to pull off a focused study session?
