When it comes to study time, it’s necessary to have your own place to study. All this makes a difference to the student. Your study place defines your character, your style. A lot depends on how you want it to be. You will have to decide whether you prefer studying in busier, louder environments or calmer, quieter places.
If you are the kind who can perform better in a noisy place, make a place for yourself in the kitchen or living room. For better output, make sure you are somewhat close to where the inmates are but don’t share the same room as everyone as it becomes too noisy. On the other hand, if you inclined towards a quieter place, then mark out a corner of the home and make it your study. Try to cut out the noise level and other forms of distractions especially the music system.
Once you decided on the place, make sure you have your comfort level but remain alert. This is why you need to be careful while choosing furniture for the study room. Though soft couches and beds look tempting, one tends to fall asleep, instead of studying.
No doubt it’s nice to sit close to a window, as there’s nothing better than natural sunlight filtering through the window. But there’s always the fear of getting distracted. To avoid this, it’s not a bad idea to opt for artificial lighting. Again be careful with the lights. An ordinary lamp and an overhead desk light give optimum results. Make sure there is plenty of light in the room as a dim light tends to make you drowsy. Coming to the table, it’s best to opt for a table which is the right size for you. This can be matched with a chair that doesn’t roll or rotate. All this can be matched by personalizing the study space with memorabilia that matters to you.
Other inmates of the house should be aware that this is the study area and hence try not to distract the student while studying. The decibel level should be minimal. You may want to add something to make it comfortable like a large pillow for them to lie on and relax when reading or even a beanbag.
