Salam and hello dearies!
Doing assignments can be torturous and boring. Sometimes it is difficult to stay focus while doing the assignments. My assignments require me to write essays (usually each essay must at least have 10 to 15 pages) because well, I take a language course. To be honest, it is not an easy process. Though I can write quite well, writing an academic piece is totally different from writing freely like updating my blog. I need to do a lot of reading, literature reviews, thinking and well, it's tiring. That's why I sometimes struggle a lot during my writing processes.
So, in order for me to stay focus on my assignment, I have been using this technique since my secondary school year already. It works well to me and I think it may work to you too. So how do I stay focus? Here are the tips.
1. Listen to your favourite songs
Songs help you to feel entertain during the boring process. The key is to choose your favourite songs only. If you just listen to any random song, you mind will be conscious because you don't know the song. But if you already know the songs, you will pay less attention to the songs. Hehehe. There is no scientific research on this (maybe there is but I'm too lazy to do my Google research now). It's just my own theory. My personal preferences are My Chemical Romance, Within Temptation and any other rock songs.
I miss MCR so much (especially Gerard Way)
Seriously, their songs are wonderful...
2. Listen to your favourite movies
Well, other then songs, movies also work well. I love to listen to my favourite movies. Other than it can help me to stay focus, listening to movies can also help me to improve my listening skills. I can just listen to the conversations and storyline. No need to watch the movies. Hehehe... My favourite movies to listens are Mean Girls and Harry Potter movies. Harry Potter movies help me to learn the British pronunciation and accent too (plus, their accent is sexy!)
3. Close your eyes...
When you close your eyes, it helps you to release your stress and once you open your eyes, your sight will go straight to your work. Plus, closing your eyes helps you to think well. Hehehe. But, don't fall asleep when you close your eyes because when you open your eyes back, your assignment will not magically finished by magic fairies. Muahaha...
So, these are my favourite tips to stay focus. It may or may not work on you. But it will not hurt you if you try them. Hehehe... Maybe after you tried my tips, you will find your own way to stay focus. Who knows...
