Welcome to PC aditya. It sounds like you have good intentions but your schedule sounds too ambitious and is probably dragging you down. Having a study schedule is a good start but intending to study 10-12 hours a day is unreasonable.

Here is what worked for me in college: look at the project you need to work on or the exam you are studying for and then set aside 15 minutes and work on it. See how much of it you finished. At this point you will have some idea of how long it will take you to complete the project or study for a particular exam and you can budget your time in short segments with an end goal in mind and not feel so overwhelmed.

Keep it simple and small initially. You don't have to be perfect ... just good.

Thank you so.much little lulu
I will definitely try what you said.But the main question is how to concentrate on studies?

[Little Lulu]

The short intervals will help you stay focused. When a thought enters your mind that is not study related say to yourself "Not now, I am studying." If a thought is persistent, write it down on a separate sheet of paper and say to yourself "I will think about this after my study session."

Hey there! I have struggled for the past few years on studying and have issues with procrastination. They key to concentrating and doing well in your studies is self discipline and time management. It could help if you take some time to sit down and plan a daily schedule for yourself.

Set a goal for yourself: eg. study for at least 3-4 hours a day, and give yourself a reward for completing that goal, like give yourself 1 hour after studying to do something you like (go for a walk/watch tv/internet). And to keep yourself from being bored you could alternate between two subjects in a day. Wishing you all the best! You need to find a source of motivation to keep you going.
