I have abandon Dreaming Life in Pink for 2 weeks, I feel so bad, but is a consequence of some bad choices.  When I started this new term at the University, which consist of only 8 weeks I took things so calmly, only though of things that I had to do for that week and didn’t keep in mind bigger assignments that are due for the end of this term, and know I have paid for it, mainly with lack of sleep, which is oh so not good.

I decided to get back to blogging with no other than a S.O.S. Study Over Sleep Episode (very fitting to my situation the past couple of weeks).

The perfect study spot.

You need to have a special place to study, were you feel comfortable, where you are able to concentrate and have all the things you need to do your work.

Things to keep in mind:

Choose a place that is accessible: 

It could be a place in your home (bedroom, living room, patio, etc), university or school (library, classroom that is not in use, recreational areas), or any other place were you feel comfortable. Tip: Never, ever, study in your bed, your body accustomed to sleeping there and you will have a harder time concentrating and battling the though of taking a nap.

What are your study needs: 

If you need your computer, look for a place with a power outlet.  Need to concentrate, avoid crowded places. Need to have a open book, notebooks and other supplies, choose a place with a table that can feet everything.

Know your self:

If you have trouble concentrating avoid crowed/noisy places and open places were is more likely for someone to come up to you and start talking. 

My places:

The University Library: If I’m doing something in the computer or anything else that doesn’t need to much concentration, and I want to do something productive in my free time. I’m one of those that needs complete silence to study.

My desk: I use my desk for everything study related, and specially if I need to really concentrate. I try to not to anything else there, so that my mind knows that we are in study mode once I sit on that chair. 

The Beach: This weekend I found my favorite place to do University work, but the beach as always been my favorite place.  I brought the papers I needed, a notebook and my pencil pouch and got to work, it was so relaxing and productive, I will definitely be doing it more often.

What do you think of this tips? What’s your favorite place to do school work and study?
