Staying focused and motivated is becoming harder in the digital era. Phones, social media, and constant notifications easily distract us. Although technology has many benefits, if not used correctly, it can make our time less productive.To stay focused, we should control how we use technology. Turning off unnecessary notifications and keeping our phones away while working helps. Apps that block distracting websites are also very useful.Setting clear and achievable goals is important to keep motivation. Breaking goals into small steps and rewarding ourselves at each step makes the process more enjoyable. Everyone has different study habits, so creating a personal study routine can increase productivity.The study environment is also very important. A quiet, organized, and simple space prevents distraction. Also, preparing a to-do list before starting work helps manage time better. Healthy habits like sleep, exercise, and good nutrition support our ability to focus.In conclusion, technology can be distracting, but with the right methods, staying focused and motivated is always possible.
