Hi! I have to study for an important test but I get distracted all the time. I receive
notifications from my social network accounts and I can’t just ignore them. When I finally
focus on my studies, my brother starts playing video games with his friends online. Even
when he uses headphones, I get distracted because he screams orders to his team all the
time. This is very upsetting! How do you concentrate? Any tips to share? Thanks! 19
