3 WAYS TO PLAN YOUR STUDY SPACE

Introduction Finding a comfortable spot to study in, or arranging your room to provide for a good study environment can be the key factor in determining your focus levels, or means of distraction. A well-planned study environment is very important improving results in terms of motivation, attention, retention of information, and dedication towards studying.

Personalize Your Space Put up posters or post it notes with motivational quotes, add some study facts on the pin board, stick pictures of places you wish to travel, or map out your study plan. Decorate your place with things that will motivate you to do better, provide some learning material or act as reminders, and use colors that soothe or appeal to you. Making that space your own will make it an extremely comfortable spot to study in.

Organize Your Space Make sure your study material is marked and kept in order. All papers are filed and marked in order, the files on your computer are in order, plan a study chart and divide your time wisely. A clean space provides less distraction, and easy access to the material; and organized use of time promotes efficiency and effectiveness of learning.

Get Yourself Comfortable: Studying on the bed is futile, you’ll find yourself drifting away. Build your study space around a desk and an extremely comfortable chair. Also find a spot with good lighting (natural lighting, and a good lamp). Get a chair that isn’t too bulky and allows for easy movement.
