Agree with living mates about study time. Make rules about activities and appropriate behaviors during study time. Discipline yourself to honor these rules and observe them. Studying will be be much more effective. Avoid noise distractions.
Silence is truly the best atmosphere to study in.
Try to avoid the television or stereo. If you must have noise in the background, experiment with soft music. Notice how others misuse your time. Do not let friends continuously interrupt your study time. Remember this is valuable time to you.
