One thing that I've found useful over the past few years is the Pomodoro Technique. It was created by someone in university who wanted to maximize their study effectiveness.
At it's core, you use a timer set to around 20 minutes. During that 20 minutes you ignore and prevent ALL interruptions. That means ignoring email, roommates, significant others, etc. You also are ignoring mental interruptions. This it he wandering mind, the mind that cannot maintain focus. The mind that only wants to give 20% of its energy to the task at hand.
At first, you will struggle to make it 5 minutes without interruption or breaking focus.
Anyway, you use this technique to not only train your focus, but also organize your efforts. You can now dedicate a number of pomodoros to an activity.
Before you scoff at the idea that 20 minutes isn't enough, this is 20 minutes of 100% intense focused mind. Twenty minutes like that is worth 1-3 hours of what normal people bumble around doing.
The official site is here. I also wrote about it on my site here.
Oh, as a footnote, set targets for what you want to learn. Make them super small so you can achieve them. This might be a little different then school study. So for example you might set a goal of learning about javascript scoping. At the end you have some sample code that you wrote where you have hands-on experience with it.
oh, men that look really good, I'll follow that technique, maybe is hard when I start to be 100% concentrate but I think it will get better, thank u so much for share that
