Increasing concentration is a challenge for a manager, when is not  investing in getting better. When his mind is elsewhere, work always suffers. A daily goal should be completing an activity without fail or distractions. There are some thinks that the manager can do to increase concentration and memory level.

SET UP A SCHEDULE. Allocate more time for the most difficult subjects. Make sure that you allot time for recreation and social activities

START STUDYING FOR 10-15 MINUTES AT A TIME AND THEN BUILD UP TO LONGER PERIODS OF TIME. Work towards reading for longer periods of time. Just remember to be realistic. If you can no longer concentrate or remember what you have read , stop. There is no sense in wasting your valuable time.

TAKE BREAKS. Take breaks when studying. The average attention span for one task is approximately 20 minutes. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CRAM! Study small portions of material, take a break and then study some more. We retain a great deal of information at once. Make these breaks mandatory. Even if you are reading or studying take some breaks. You do not want to get burned out.

REWARD YOURSELF. Reward yourself for studying, learning a difficult concept, or completing a project. Do recreations you put off in order to study. This reinforces your behavior. You are more likely to study again and concentrate if you know there is a reward at the end of completing a task.

FIND A GOOD LOCATION. Where you study can influence your concentration and your study habits as well. Make sure you are comfortable, but not too comfortable. Sitting at a desk is preferable to lying in bed.

USE THE SAME PLACE FOR STUDYING. This will help you associate that particular location with studying and will facilitate concentration.

MAKE SURE IT IS A QUIET PLACE. Seeking a quiet well – lit study area is equally important. A radio blaring in the background, a TV on next door, and the sounds of an interesting conversation are but a few of the factors that can disturb a study area.

ELIMINATE THE OBVIOUS DISTRACTIONS. Some of the more common distractions are telephone calls or friends and family stopping by to chat. Remove newspapers, magazines, and unfinished work from your study area. Even the sight of a textbook from another module can serve as a reminder of other issues, causing you to waste time. Once you become aware of these simple distractions, you can eliminate them and improve your study skills.

REMEMBER THAT MEMORY IS CONTEXT DEPENDENT. Studying I a physical situation similar to the one in which you apply your knowledge increases your chances of recalling information.
