My mind is always wondering and I often find myself starring of into space in some kind of day dream. As much as I want to concentrate on something, it doesnt take long before once again my mind is wondering. Is there any methods I could use to help me concentrate and keep my focus??

Answer 1

1 - It helps to make studying a habit.

Set aside a certain amount of time each day and reserve it only for studying. Start with 10 minutes.

2- Get rid of all distractions.

This does not mean you have to eliminate ALL sounds. Low, background music often helps to break up that annoying silence and drown out little noises. Studies have linked classical music to increased memory skills.

3 - To increase focus in studying is to make it fun.

Make a game out of it. Study with another person or in a group and test each other. Or study a page for one minute then quiz yourself on a piece of paper. Simple reading and memorization can be boring.

4 - Excerise first, then study.

Some people become restless when sitting still. Excerise first to release excess energy then sit down to relax. After recovering, it will be much easier to sit still.

5 - Study in a studious atmosphere.

Sometimes going to the library can be inspirational. Not only that, but there are no TVs, Video games or cell phones ringing to tempt you away from your studies.

Answer 2

Stop smoking marijuana.
Practice concentrating. There are all kinds of games on the internet to help practice concentration. Yoga and meditation are also known to help concentration. Also reading frequently helps build your ability to concentrate.
Or maybe you have a lot to think about, write down all your thoughts that are bothing you, and then you will be free to think.
Or if you start writing and can't stop, write a book, get famous, and stop worrying about concentrating.

Answer 3

Drink 3-4 cups of coffe. It works. Try it.
