After a long day of school, the last thing that many kids want to do is sit down and study. However, it's important to develop good habits, so that homework can be finished as efficiently as possible. For me, a crucial aspect to maintaining focus is creating an environment that minimizes distraction. Music plays a large part in helping me think. Avoid anything too loud or fast, and try and find stuff without lyrics-- classical music works well. Below, I've embedded one of my favorite playlists. If classical isn't your thing, bands such as Radical Face have ambient, calming music. Another thing that is important is location. Sitting at desk or table helps me because it keeps me awake. Additionally, it trains one's body to associate sitting up with studying. Avoid studying on you bed. Not only is it easy to fall asleep while studying, but it can also make it harder to fall asleep later! Try and find a room of the house without a whole lot of activity. Be careful about working in a place with lots of stuff in it. It's all too easy to get distracted by books or other gadgets lying about. As hard as it is, please distance yourself from your phone! At the very least, put it on silent and move it away from your desk. It's easy to get sucked into a world of social media and texting. Do yourself a favor and remove the distractions before you're derailed. Hopefully, these tips will help you stay focused and get your homework done quicker. Good Luck!
