Cures for Daydreaming Keep a piece of paper handy and jot down things to be done later. Dismiss you worries from your study time. Mentally prepare yourself for your study time. When you feel tired, exercise for a few minutes. If necessary, leave your study area for a few minutes.
Reading requires more concentration than writing.
Do your reading first. It is recommended that you do not take detailed notes during lectures or during reading assignments. Write down only what is needed to recall the material. Review your notes as soon as possible. If the notes dont make sense, ask the instructor to clarify the material that you dont understand.
