You asked, “How do I focus when I am studying? If I play a game, I can play for 8-10 hours in a day but if I study within an hour I feel bored. How can I improve my focus when I am studying?”
Wow! This is a great question. It also clearly demonstrates that you are a thinker, who sees yourself in your future, and that you want to be successful there. It is as if you already know that Success is not a destination, but that Success is a lifestyle.
Clearly, you can Focus and such is The Key Word to being Successful and remaining Successful. When you take a look at anyone who has been Successful at anything, you will see that the person either knew how to Focus or knows how to Focus. You have the ability to Focus down; now, it just needs to be redirected.
Students who do best in school and who then Thrive on the other side of graduation are those who understand how the lessons can and will be used as tools to support their hopes, goals, and dreams for the rest of their lives (all others flounder to some degree).
The Get It students are the ones who Focus on mastering the content as well as meeting the deadline. They are not interested in the grade; they are sincerely interested in the usefulness of the information.
If your goals are not motivating you to act, then you need new goals. Now is the time in your life when you are preparing yourself for the quality of the rest of your life. Now is the time in your life when you are preparing yourself to attract the best possible partner for you and your future family. The better that you prepare yourself now, the better the quality of entertainment, food, living quarters, travel, and lifestyle you can and will have. It really is up to you because as has been stated, Success is a lifestyle.
One thing is for sure, and that is You Can Do It.

-
Become interested in the topic. Desire to know more.
-
Ask yourself, “What would it be like if we did not have this information?”
-
Make a “Game” out of your studies. Read a paragraph in the textbook, ponder, and then write an exam-level question for each paragraph. Ask these questions to your study group and then discuss the answers.
-
Convince yourself that you need to make a presentation about the information to a younger, less educated audience. This will force you to think of easier ways to help others learn the information. Include in your presentation easy-to-understand examples, manipulatives, and labs.
-
Ask yourself, “What would I give to my audience members so that they could touch and feel the topic? What experience could I give to my students?” and
