How to Create a Study Space
Set a designated space for your studying, productivity, and supplies (or any other study essentials)
Before you create your study space, you of course will need to find a place to center your productive studying! If you can, choose an area with a lot of space (for your needs and stuff), less distractions, good lighting, a good vibe of positivity and productivity, etc.
Decorate and organize your newly founded study space!
This is purely optional, but I just find that when I have an uncluttered and tidy space I just get my work done faster with minimal distractions from the background, which comes from my belongings (if that makes sense). I would also recommend decorating your study space because it will add your own personal flair to the space, while boosting good and positive energy (which will be studying more likeable and fun!). I would maybe try to over do it! Some minimal decorating should do that job as it doesn’t add extra and unnecessary distractions while boosting your confidence and willpower!
I’m going to say that lighting makes a big difference in how you will function in your awesome new space! Good lighting boosts productivity and keeps you motivated in a way (sort of if you can related). I just can’t do my work in the dark because it justs makes things harder to see, gives me eye strain, and it for some reasons makes me want to get on my phone and procrastinate (which is a major no no). I’d recommend investing in a quality desk lamp, and if you can studying in a room with good natural light (from a window or something of that nature). I personally prefer warmer colored light bulbs, but choose the color temp that you find will keep you on the road to your destination and goals.
Get a desk with a comfy chair (or alternatives–suggestions mentioned below)
Please for the sake of your back and all things good, invest in a quality chair and table desk if you can. I personally, used to study on the loffa. However, this lead to my back and neck hurting a lot due to lack of support and having to bend down all the time. A table will give you a place to do your work on, and the chair will give your body the support it needs. Try to get a comfy one because uncomfy chairs will just make you feel not so well. There are so many options out there, but I know that some of us just do have the resources to get a fancy Ikea desk or what ever. So if you can’t please don’t stress about this! It is totally OPTIONAL! An alternative would be to make a DIY Desk or even going to the local public library or cafe (find a quiet cafe to study in though. But just in case bring some earbuds/headphones to block out excess noise)!
Eliminate all tempting distractions (phones, social media, etc.)
This is pretty self explanatory, but unless you really need to use your phone or another electronic device for homework it would just be best to put it away. It will help to keep you on track, promote the distraction free environment, and also it can prevent the spiral of procrastination to take effect. If you really do need your laptop for say, maybe try installing a website blocker to keep you off of Tumblr or other things that provoke the positive space. I know that sometimes we can have siblings that can be annoying sometimes too (I know this is true, but we still love them lol). If this is the case maybe ask them to leave politely or just pop on some earbuds are get moving. These aren’t all the distractions in the world, but I know that you can find a positive solution to your problem! Just know that you’re not alone!
Try to keep it down to one (if it’s best)
I know that sometimes we have to share things, even if we don’t want to. But, if possible, try to keep one space to yourself. Having your own space can give you a boosting sense of ownership and belonging. I don’t know if it’s just me, but when I used to share a space my stuff went missing, people took things, etc. If you can, do this. But, sometimes studying with others can actually even be more beneficial (for some people)! Just pursue the option that will benefit you more overall in the long run.
