Question

om has difficulty battling distractions while studying. Which of the following strategies would help him with this problem?

Answer 1

have him sequester himself in a library preferably a school library, bring small snacks like trail mix nuts and dried fruit or cheese and tiny bits of candy something with protein yet still delicious and rewarding, music and water. after so much work done, have a reward set, like candy or something enjoyable, repeatable and simple.
also he can try to study in a small group, around people who are actually studying not just hanging out.
if it gets really bad, he can try setting a timer himself, for an hour or two hours. sometimes a time pressure helps or knowing exactly when it'll end helps.
if internet is a major distraction, avoid computers, write mainly on paper, and do typing last.

also sometimes a quick walk around the block or shower or a change of clothes to change the mindset or switch gears can help. don't be any where that puts him a relaxed mind set, a certain level of tension can help.



hope some part of that helps
good luck and good hunting
