Can meditation help me in my academics?
The negative affects on studies and overcoming them:


Distraction when you study means you cannot learn something properly - meditation can help keep focus.
Memory may lapse if you are scatter-brained - when doing exams you might not be able to recall something. Focus by meditation will help you remember things.
Time spent on studies - by pursuing other pleasure activities you lose time for studies. Meditation helps by taming your senses so you can study more.
