How do I actually sit down and study without getting distracted, I'm always doing multiple things at once and its so hard to actually sit down and focus on one single task.

one thing I always do is I stay away from any devices and put a timer on (so say like 1hr), within that hr I focus on ONE thing, then after that hour I might give myself a break or change subjects

Dont you constantly check to see what the timer is at though, like checking how long you have left.

I find it easier to put everything away (distraction wise) and just crunch out a past paper

you can do the same for worksheets or textbook chapters

When I accelled I kept a physical book -- that was WAY more tiring because I had to ✨ neatly ✨ write up the solution each time I added to it

was still quite helpful tbh

**now I put out an advert to sell it here for $5000
