Students often make up their minds to study well, make a proper schedule and organize their study material and desk, but somehow, they do not learn. This could be due to different reasons, and individually, students are not to be accused of this because they intend to study, but specific reasons interrupt their studies.

Laziness

The number one apparent reason for not studying is that they undergo laziness, and due to this, they cannot focus and lose attention in their studies. They lead to sleep or nap while learning, and this wastes their study time.

Procrastination

The bible makes it known to us that procrastination is the destroyer of blessings. In this case, it robs students of their chance to learn/study at the right time. Students delay their study time, giving irrelevant reasons for not studying.

Disturbance from friends and family

Friends and family members usually become a cause of disturbance when you are studying. They do not expect to bother you, but, sometimes when they are not conscious of your study programs or when some event comes up, they may obstruct your studies. Friends usually request to leave classes and hang out with them, and out of consideration, you take their request going to your studies.

Fixing a schedule

Often, students follow the schedule rigorously, they set one or two hours for a subject, and if the time is completed, they neglect it there itself irrespective of this that they get a complete knowledge of the concept.

Other distractions

Social media, television, setting incorrect goals, video games, and extracurricular activities become a barrier to studies because students spend more than expected time in these activities, and hence, it affects their studies.

How can students do to avoid this?

1.   Talk with your parents and friends

Whenever you decide to study, you can communicate with your family members and friends about this to tell them about your study program and ask them not to interrupt you during that time. This way, they can focus their activities respectively, and also, if your support in any event or activity is urgently required, you too can adapt your study plan.

2.   Study more to score well

Do not let your study be dictated by a schedule. You need to study and revise for your upcoming exams periodically. This way, you will reach up to your entire syllabus, and daily practice and revision will grow your concept knowledge. This is an essential approach to your studies, and it will be of great help in getting well in your exams. If your syllabus will be covered entirely, you will be confident about your good results and won’t suffer from exam fear or stress.

3.   Create a study group

If your colleagues or classmates often talk to/ask you questions for study plans, you can create a study group where you all can study collectively to ask each other about your difficulties in any concept. This will help you because you, too, will get a study partner and clear your doubts while learning, and you would not be remaining for help. Make sure there are only classmates or friends who are seriously joining in studies only.

4.   Sleep well and eat healthily

Students make the mistake of depriving themselves of sleep when studying for exams. They believe that staying up to read all night is a sign of being serious. Whereas that period of exam is when one is meant to rest well (get total rest by sleeping for at least 6-8 hours) and eat healthily. By following a refreshing approach in their life, students won’t be affected by stress, laziness, or procrastination as well, and their studies will not suffer.

Conclusion

Students need to recognize the reasons that stop them from studying. If they do not use corrective measures on time, they will see adverse impacts on their studies and final results. Follow the points specified in this article to avoid all such reason that stops you from studying.
