Explore the space—Partition a quiet space in your home to be used
exclusively for school. If you only use this space for studying, it will
help you maintain an academic mindset, and it will allow everyone else
to understand that you are busy with school when you are occupying that
space.
Keep it quiet—It’s easy to ignore background noise in daily life, but everything is amplified when you are trying to focus in a quiet study environment. Everything is considerably more noticeable when you need quiet; a bathroom fan, a washing machine, a faucet dripping, clocks ticking, and cupboards closing can be a major distraction.
Comfortable and attentive—You need to be comfortable enough to spend a significant portion of time studying, but not so comfortable that you feel drowsy or lethargic. An ergonomic desk chair, bright display, and well-lit desk are all standards, but if you can stay productive in a more eclectic environment, do it; just make sure you can stay productive.
Do Not Disturb—Create signs or some sort of signal to let significant others, children, or neighbors know that you should not be interrupted. If possible, establish a consistent study time so that the people you live with will adapt to a schedule.
Organize—Everyone has a different study method, but some form of organization is usually required in order to optimize learning. Messes and scattered material take time to sift through and are a distraction. You should keep all study material and learning aids in your designated study area and keep it organized for optimal efficiency and quick access.
