- Work in a clean, uncluttered area. Being surrounded by clothes and Metra receipts will distract you from working.
- Having a water bottle or something you can refill by you. Staying hydrate will help you focus.
- Also have a snack or two around so you don't have to get up if you get hungry.
- Create a playlist beforehand that will run for about an hour and a half. Play it and if you are still studying when it's finished, take a break while starting a new one.
- If internet browsing gets you off track, turn off your Wifi. It's hard but will help.
- Don't try and write, edit, and complete an essay in one sitting. After finishing the first draft, go on to something else and come back later. You'll have a clear mind and edit more thoroughly.
- Maybe this one is just me, but I work better if I am in school clothes (meaning a nice shirt and jeans) instead of t-shirts and sweats. Personally, it helps me stay focused.
