1Most students believe they can study while checking their phones every few minutes.

2Research shows that each short interruption costs far more time than we expect.

3After looking at a message, the brain needs several minutes to focus again fully.

4For this reason, I switched my phone off during my evening study sessions.

5At first, the silence felt strange, and I reached for the phone constantly.

6After one week, however, I could read difficult texts without stopping at all.

7I also started working in blocks of fifty minutes with short breaks between them.

8During each break, I walk around, drink water, and avoid looking at any screen.

9My grades improved within a month, and my evenings became noticeably shorter too.

10Deep focus is not a talent; it is simply a habit anyone can build.

11The hardest part is starting, because the first ten minutes always feel uncomfortable.
