Before class: Get 7 to 9 hours of sleep, eat a light meal with some protein, drink water, and spend 2 to 3 minutes reviewing the previous lesson so your brain has context going in.
In class: Sit near the front to reduce distractions and stay engaged. Put your phone in your bag, not just face-down, because out of sight really does mean out of mind. Take notes by hand since writing forces your brain to process instead of passively listening. Try to ask or answer at least one question per class to keep yourself active. If your mind drifts, take a slow breath, underline the last thing the teacher said, and rejoin.
Quick focus tricks: Chew gum or sip water to keep your brain alert. Sit up straight because slouching reduces oxygen and energy. Pick one anchor like the teacher's voice, your pen, or the board, and return to it whenever you drift.
Long-term habits: Cut down on screens before bed because they wreck the next day's focus. Exercise around 20 minutes a day since it is one of the strongest focus boosters known. Practice doing one thing at a time at home so your brain gets used to deep focus.
The biggest game-changer for most students is phone away, front row, and handwritten notes. Try just those three for a week and you will notice a real difference.

To concentrate in class, sit where distractions are low, put your phone away, and take a few quick notes to stay engaged. If your mind wanders, find one point to focus on and ask questions if unclear.
