Eventhough you thought you were super excited for the new semester; you may feel frustrated and lazy. But don't worry. I know it is hard to adjustface-to-face education after two years of online education.Here some tips that may help you to stay focused!

BE PRODUCTIVE AGAIN 

Remember good memories of studying, when you were focused and chill.And ask yourself:<ul><li>How I've been starting the day? (late or early)</li><li>How was my studying workspace? (your table, light, music)</li><li>How was the wheather? (Cold, warm, hot, or shinny or cloudy)</li></ul>I realized that, I study better when i wake up early, with background music and in cold, cloudy days.

REMEMBER YOUR PRODUCTIVE TIMES

If you are a collage or university student you may struggle with tons of course materials like books and pdf. I think it is very disturbing to collect all of them when start studyig. If you organize all your material at first then you are restful at the end of the term.So, what you should do is: <ul><li>Create individual files in your computer for every class you take. (You can apply this for your bookshelf)</li><li>Add e-books and online lecture materials to the file. (for ex. if I download a pathology book and lecturer's slides, I add all of them to 'Pathology' file. )</li></ul>

ORGINAZE YOUR STUDY MATERIALS

Create a habit and try to stick to it.And don't forget, trying to do it perfect makes you perfect. So don't expect to do it perfect without struggling, perfectionism only makes you go backward. Trying hard is already a perfect thing. Use your time and breaktimes wisely.&nbsp;<ul><li>Most people suggest that 45 min of work and 15 min of rest. </li></ul>Find what is best for you. I usually work 60 min and break for 20 min. If something comes up when you are studying, tell yourself 'I will do it at my break'.

THINK LIKE IT IS A WORK

Imagine you do something without thinking; those actings are so smooth and just flows.But when you start thinking about what you're going to do, crap!  You just cannot figure out what to do and your feelings and the reality do not match! Let me give you more details.

How to THINK? 

Simple thinking is the ultimate key. <ul><li>If you do something good, you can expect something good.</li><li>If you do less, the more is not going to come up, most likely.</li><li>If your method is sloppy, the job at the end will be sloppy. </li><li>If you care too much, too much at the end will scratch your ears.  </li></ul>

Simple Math 

Balance is basically the equality of the poles apart.This beautiful painting above for example: <ul><li>orange and blue are the opposite colors.</li><li>gray is neutral so it does not have any effect.</li><li>orange and blue together complete each other.</li><li>this way, you can appreciate the orange and blue more. Because they can show themselves more with each other. </li></ul>So, always think about what you have and what you expect. If you think that everything is perfect, believe me there is something wrong you don't know yet.If you think everything is bad, maybe you just can't see what you have to be appreciate.

Law of the Universe: Balance

You can think by your Brain but cannot decide without your Heart! That's actually a scienctific fact but we'll look at it later. So, you defined all the logical data and make a good connection between what you have and what you want. And also, you draw a couple of possibilities you may choose. So, how you're gonna choose? Basically all these paths are equal and direct you to same goal. That, you need to listen your emotions. <ul><li>You need to feel yourself</li><li>ask, am I feeling comfortable with this idea?</li><li>or am I feeling stressed and scared?</li></ul>

Heart or Brain?

Emotional Intelligence was an international phenomenon, appearing on the New York Times bestseller list for over a year and selling more than five million copies worldwide. Now, once again, Daniel Goleman has written a groundbreaking synthesis of the latest findings in biology and brain science, revealing that we are “wired to connect” and the surprisingly deep impact of our relationships on every aspect of our lives. Far more than we are consciously aware, our daily encounters with parents, spouses, bosses, and even strangers shape our brains and affect cells throughout our bodies—down to the level of our genes—for good or ill. In Social Intelligence, Daniel Goleman explores an emerging new science with startling implications for our interpersonal world. Its most fundamental discovery: we are designed for sociability, constantly engaged in a “neural ballet” that connects us brain to brain with those around us. Our reactions to others, and theirs to us, have a far-reaching biological impact, sending out cascades of hormones that regulate everything from our hearts to our immune systems, making good relationships act like vitamins—and bad relationships like poisons. We can “catch” other people’s emotions the way we catch a cold, and the consequences of isolation or relentless social stress can be life-shortening. Goleman explains the surprising accuracy of first impressions, the basis of charisma and emotional power, the complexity of sexual attraction, and how we detect lies. He describes the “dark side” of social intelligence, from narcissism to Machiavellianism and psychopathy. He also reveals our astonishing capacity for “mindsight,” as well as the tragedy of those, like autistic children, whose mindsight is impaired. Is there a way to raise our children to be happy? What is the basis of a nourishing marriage? How can business leaders and teachers inspire the best in those they lead and teach? How can groups divided by prejudice and hatred come to live together in peace? The answers to these questions may not be as elusive as we once thought. And Goleman delivers his most heartening news with powerful conviction: we humans have a built-in bias toward empathy, cooperation, and altruism–provided we develop the social intelligence to nurture these capacities in ourselves and others.

Author of Emotional Intelligence and psychologist Daniel Goleman has transformed the way the world educates children, relates to family and friends, and conducts business. The Wall Street Journal ranked him one of the 10 most influential business thinkers. Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence was on The New York Times best sellers list for a year-and-a-half. Named one of the 25 "Most Influential Business Management Books" by TIME, it has been translated into 40 languages. The Harvard Business Review called emotional intelligence (EI) “a revolutionary, paradigm-shattering idea.”  Goleman’s new book, Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence, argues that attention — a fundamental mental ability for success — has come under siege.
