Hello Rowan, Hope you're doing great! I was just asking, I'm currently in year 11 and I just finished all my HSC exams, and I think I should have done much better in my studying, is there a possibility to improve myself in year 12 so I can obtain a decent ATAR? because I'm worried that its too late.

I put my phone at flight mode if I find something in it distracting. It reduces my anxiety to check things in it and helps to stay focused for a longer time.

[@ArtofSmartTV]

Good to hear Soumya! FYI - Research shows that just having your phone on your desk reduces your focus as even if it's on airplane mode, we're conditioned to still want to check it.

I get distracted by getting tired lol

[@somniato7759]

honestly, I couldn't even focus on you the entire video

[@ArtofSmartTV]

Haha, sounds like focus is definitely a big problem for you!

[@somniato7759]

@@ArtofSmartTV I know, It's pretty weird. Like when the teacher is there, I'm focused af. But if he isn't there, I'm basically not doing anything, and I feel so unproductive and I hate it. Anyway, stay safe.

[@ArtofSmartTV]

@@somniato7759 Can you try doing a 'study with me' session with a friend for accountability? So you both dial in on a Google Hangout and study, and if one of you gets distracted you, you keep the other accountable?

[@pratyushkamboj634]

Can I still have a 10 min break every 2 hours? I work in 2 hour study blocks and have a 10 min break every hour.

[@ArtofSmartTV]

That's fine! As long as you stay focused in your study time :)

[@skullcrusher5424]

I tried the 25min and then a 10minute break, it actually worked well. The only issue is taking a 10minute break every 25min kinda wastes the hour altogether.

[@ArtofSmartTV]

yep, so the goal should be to expand the 25 min study period to make it longer and longer over time :)

[@phile2707]

my friend called me to play minecraft while watching this and i postponed this for an hour

[@ArtofSmartTV]

Haha, OH no....Have you implemented any of the strategies we shared in this video now?

[@phile2707]

@@ArtofSmartTV Most of it, excluding music though. In some sense, music is the lesser distraction , so I'd rather be on music than be on my phone

[@mecanzie2741]

How long should a distraction last per 20 minutes of study?

[@ArtofSmartTV]

As in during the 20 mins of study, or after you've done your 20 minutes?
