Does anyone have tips on improving attention span/ quickening revision? Takes me 5 hours to get through 15 pages. And the material is not even new, just something that I am studying after a gap of 2 years. Plus the degree alongside. Not enough time and my brain is super slow when I do sit to study. 

Hi! Long time. 

Vahi generic do thodasa physical activity? Call a friend/ junior who’s preparing and discuss those topics with them, certainly helps to get flow back. 

Or maybe give a test, get a reality check and then use that emotion to study? Set micro targets and use timer to complete those? There are phases even during a day Jahan nahi hoti padhai. Tabh timer works, ki 20 mins hi Padhunga usme I’ll complete xyz ( achievable targets) 

attention span ka issue toh I solve ese hi. And if nothing works then, lol, i give myself time. 5 mins padh, lo 30 mins break. But at least complete one goal. Vahi philosophy if you can’t run, walk, if you can’t want walk, crawl. But keep going. 

And yeh sabh se  bhi kuch nahi hua toh , lelo break. Break me, I introspect ki kya ho raha hai exactly. Like what is really eating me up? And then either let those things go/figure things out/supress them/ just sulk/ watch something.

ps: suggestions toh nahi hai, it’s just the way I work. I’ll be Happy if it helps, otherwise it’s okayy:D

@DancingMaster This is a really solid and wise advice. I have a request for you, please answer the following:
I have joined MGP 2026. How should I utilise this programme to get maximum benefit out of this? What are some do’s and don’t with year long test series such as MGP? 
PS: I am done with 70% of syllabus.
I have given ethics test in Lukmaan; right my score in them is in 90s.
I am not giving this attempt because I have been away from academics for a quiet long time; and have some professional responsibilities till the month of April. 
So, please guide. 😊
