Find a quiet spot, keep your phone away or may be use focus apps like focus keeper or forest. Sit in a clean space. A clean space helps one have a clean mind.
Set Clear, Realistic Goals

Stay Hydrated and Eat Light Snacks
Dehydration and heavy meals make one feel sleepy. Keep healthy snacks like fruits, nuts or dark chocolate nearby and a bottle full of water.
Use Active Study Methods
Use active study methods such as writing notes, quizing yourself or teaching someone else. Reading passively is boring. Active study methods can keep your brain engaged and alert.
Mix Subjects or Topics
Studying different things keeps your brain from feeling stuck. So, keep switching between subjects or topics every few hours to avoid mental fatigue.
Avoid Multitasking
Do not study while checking notifications or watching TV. Focus on one task at a time. Remember that quality matters more than quantity.
