Concentrate!!

As this adorable video from Sesame Street shows, concentrating is very important to do, but is often a difficult task. It is extremely easy to become distracted by anything. It doesn't have to be something obvious like Facebook or YouTube, it can be as simple as a fly or a piece of candy that distracts me from my schoolwork. Concentration is an extremely important skill to possess in college, though, because large volumes of homework and exams demand lots of extra study time. I've found the best way for me to concentrate is to isolate myself. Whether that be wearing headphones, going to the library, or sitting on a bench, being alone helps me to be productive and to concentrate. Once I'm alone, concentration becomes much easier. Others have different techniques, but the same principle applies. In order to concentrate, eliminate distractions!
