Please tell me how to study with full concentration…

and not getting distracted due to external surroundings. I want to study seriously but distractions are all over there and my mind becomes weak to choose over study or distraction. Please give me a tough dose and some motivation please☹️

You can do this! You might want to seek out a less distracting environment for study ; there are some great spots here in O’Neill, though perhaps being surrounded by books is a distraction, too. I also recommend academic coaching from the Coinnors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors); they can help with organizational and study skills.

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
