When i’m studying i usually need to create the perfect environment if i really want to get work done. Here’s what i usually do:
make my bed: i know it sounds stupid but it helps, i swear
tidy everything you don’t really need on your desk: if you don’t need it, it’s just a waste of space
find the perfect light: yes, it sounds like a shitty selfie advice, but try studying with natural sunlight, and then study with a yellow-ish neon light. we both know what’s really better.
but where should we study? this is a hard question, but i’ll try and answer.
try not to study on your bed: it’s confortable, cozy, warm, soft, beautiful and that’s why you’ll just fall asleep and never study again.
on the desk, on a table: it works perfectly because you’re not distracted by anything and you have a large amount of space to use.
couch? it depends. if you need to take notes, cram or something like that, i wouldn’t do it. if you just need to practise some quizzes, your choice is free
find a nice café or a library if you don’t like studying in your house (my house is always super loud for example)
i’m not talking about the wall you have behind your desk, i’m talking about music, podcasts and so on.
i usually listen to music: (i made a spotify playlist that you can see here) BUT i don’t listen to anything if i am doing maths or latin homeworks
i have never listened to any podcasts but i’ve read of people that find it useful so just do what you think it’s better for you (lol)
youtube videos: when i am not in the mood for music or i can’t find anything that i like, i’d just create a youtube playlist. i usually put in it videos like “november favorites”, “plan with me”, vlogs or such things.
i NEVER study with the tv turned on. i find it very distracting and not helpful at all
food is great. that’s it.
drinks: i’d usually go for a tea, a coffe, a hot chocolate…
snacks: i like energy bars(?), i like almonds, peanuts, cereals; but i won’t say no to nutella, chocolate bars, sweets and cookies. just eat what pleases you.
and i’m finished! this is what i usually do to study. and also, remember not to study for, like, two hours straight with no pauses! it’s not useful at all, you just get distracted more, and more, and more. be sure to pause for a little walk, browse your phone or something.
