If you're a student, then, definitely, there could be no other place in the world that can bore or lull you to sleep better than a class. You often wonder whether it just happenS that whenever you see you 
r teacher walk in and begin the lecture, your mind suddenly wanders off into oblivion. Surely there must be a way to physically and mentally stay in class.
Maintaining focus and concentration is achieved by doing preparations outside of the classroom. As human beings, we are only capable of a relative amount of stress, after which our minds, bodies, and feelings would begin to relax, explaining the loss of concentration. There are proven and effective ways to stay focused during class. Here's how.
1. Be early.
Coming to class early will give you a sense of determination that you are physically and mentally ready to focus. You will be able to do the necessary preparations, like find a good seat, set up your school materials, and relax, to keep your concentration good for the duration of the lecture.
2. Mindset.
Before class starts, set a goal that you will be maintaining focus throughout the whole class, and that you will not allow yourself to be distracted and only engage in scrupulous activity. Take a few deep breaths and psych up for the coming lecture. You may tell friends and seatmates in advance that you plan to participate undisturbed once class begins.
3. Health.
If you are not taking care of yourself properly, chances are, you will be physically drained from the moment you step into the classroom. Sleep for a full eight hours, drink a lot of water, and eat nutritious foods, to get your blood circulating and enhance wakefulness during class.
4. Seat.
Find a good spot near the front, where you can hear and see your teacher clearly. You will notice that the closer you are to the teacher, the more focused you also get to be. Your teacher will help you stay with the class, too, if your mind starts wandering again.
5. Participate.
