Ever wanted
to pay more attention to details or wonder why simple details just skip your
mind without you being able to recall? or rather, you wish you could control
your level of concentration. Be it school, work or in general discussions we
all need deep concentration skills or just learn how to listen to people
''sha'' so they wouldn't accuse you of not listening {all guys have experienced
this when chatting with their gf].
Here is a
brief list of top three reasons why u just can't seem to listen or whenever u
see a lecturer ''owu-breeze''{sleep} seems to take over.
LACK OF
SLEEP;
Everytime
you watch that late night movie,or you ''jack 24/7''{read all through the
night]. Always remember that to be at your best you need at least 8 hours worth
of sleep to be sufficient and potent. As researchers have linked loss of
focus, irritability and mind fog{ inability to think clearly]to bad sleeping
habits and insufficient sleep. All this can hinder understanding as your brain
can't comprehend fully what is happening due to fatigue.
So always remember to always sleep early so as
to not to be like this
Well except you wanna scare the lecturer.
GADGET OVERLOAD;
We all know how often we reach into our pockets
for our phones, or into our bags for our tabs or laptop because of text
messages, whatsapp messages and yes ''PINGS''. Now controlling your phone is one
thing and your phones and gadgets controlling you is another. Your brain is not
designed to multi-task during listening. Imagine receiving a lecture in class
and your sitting at the back with your eyes glued to the teacher and suddenly
you get a beep on your phone. Your first
instinct is to check your message, or the cause of the beep, making you lose
attention and at that time something like this happens
YOU THERE YES U WITH THE PHONE WHAT DID I JUST
SAY KNOW ??
So learning to switch off your phone when
attempting to listen or concentrate will help you set your priorities when
listening or giving your attention to something.
As a
matter of fact I recommend every student makes use of only this
IT CALLS,IT MESSAGES SO IT IS A GADGET.
DAYDREAMING/LACK OF ATTENTION;
This is
the mother of all problems when it comes to listening effectively. Day dreaming
and lack of attention go hand in hand and can also be considered rude to the
person talking to you as you have just justified waste of time and effort in
his or her part. Imagine yourself pouring out words that you have put in deep
thoughts for. After talking on your part you ask for a reply and he or she who
was pretending to listen say's ''EEEHH'' or what did u say.
U may likely do this to him or her
So put yourself in the lecturer's shoes when he
or she catches u not paying attention. Guys please stop thinking of this
IFY,MARY AND ISHAT WHO FIRST.
and ladies please stop thinking of this
OMG I LIKE BRAD PITT HE'S SOOOOO HOT
