• Decide what portions you would like to finish in that particular day

• Prepare a timetable according to the above, keeping slots for breaks

• Start studying with your favorite subject, so that you don’t get bored from the beginning itself

• Take breaks when you get bored, and try to avoid studying at a stretch for a longer duration.

• Eat healthy food, sleep well and also socialise. A healthy mind is the most important for good concentration

• Do some mind games like Sudoku, Crossword puzzles, Chess, etc
