Struggling to stay focused in an age of constant distractions? Science has you covered.  Improving concentration isn’t just about willpower - it hinges on neuroscience and smart habits. 

Start with single-tasking: research shows that juggling multiple subjects reduces memory retention and focus. Then adopt structured study blocks—25 minutes of work followed by a 5-minute break (the Pomodoro technique) is proven to sustain attention. Nutrition matters too: foods like nuts, dark chocolate and green tea enhance blood flow and cognitive performanceDon’t skimp on sleep or hydration - losing sleep or dehydrating can cut focus by up to 20-30%. Movement helps: a 20-minute walk boosts oxygen to the brain, improving alertness. Finally, swap passive reading for active recall - self-testing strengthens neural pathways far better than simple rereading.

By combining these seven evidence-based strategies, you don’t just study harder - you study smarter.
