HOME STUDY AREA<br />

To optimize your home study effectiveness, have a special<br />

place set aside for your home learning.<br />

It should be:<br />

• appropriately lit<br />

• comfortable, neat and efficient<br />

• away from distractions and interruptions<br />

• quiet (no loud music).<br />

Have your study area adequately resourced:<br />

• a computer close at hand<br />

• well equipped with stationery<br />

• a bottle of water.<br />

Always aim to study in the same place at home or in the<br />

library. Being consistent will create a pattern in your brain and<br />

a good habit.<br />

When studying stay hydrated and dress comfortably. Do not<br />

study in bed as your brain relates bed to sleep not study.<br />

Remember to get up and move in your breaks. This will help<br />

you to clear your mind before moving onto the next topic or<br />

task.<br />

Decorate your study area with posters that have:<br />

• your goals listed<br />

• overviews of your subjects<br />

• quotations and formulae.<br />

Make your posters colourful and place them a little higher<br />

than eye level.<br />

Be aware of and avoid the things that make it difficult to<br />

study.<br />
