It can be difficult to focus for long periods of time. If you are managing to focus for around half an hour but after that find yourself getting distracted, maybe you can take a break for a while? It can help to read or study in short bursts of 20-30 minutes and then have a break so that you don't get distracted while trying to carry on reading. You could try mindfulness and gently tell yourself that you are getting distracted and to keep trying to bring your attention back to the reading. However, if you continue to get distracted, you may only get annoyed at yourself so best to take a break instead and come back to reading when you can focus a bit better.

If you find yourself constantly getting distracted either in college or when you have to study, you might also want to speak to someone at college such as student support who may be able to help you.
