First of all,
JUST TURN OFF YOUR PHONE AND GO TO THE LIBRARY! :))))
Just kidding. But only kinda.
Here are some actual tips:
* Set aside specific times of day to study.
* Do your studying out of the house.
* Don't bring a laptop.
* Turn your phone off or put it on airplane mode.
* Eat before you leave, so that you'll be able to spend as much time there as possible.
* Bring earplugs, or get an mp3 of white noise and loop it.
Starbucks is a typical go-to location...
but it can get crowded.
Someone recently suggested Dunkin Donuts and Burger King because they have lots of space.
True, they might be pretty empty, but they often also smell like the food they sell. You don't want to be hungered/disgusted by the food (depending upon your preferences), while you're studying.
Places that cater to office-worker lunch crowds are often quiet in the evening and the smell of their food may be less likely to overtake the entire restaurant. (I'm talking about places like Panera Bread, Cosi, etc.) Since they're chains, they probably won't care if you sit there for hours and hours. Also, their food is decent, so you can eat without leaving if you get hungry.
I'm not familiar with good study spots in every city in the world (yet!), but I do have some tips for anyone studying in NYC:
* The Sony Wonder Public Space in Midtown East (quiet in the evenings and is open late)
* The Rose Reading Room at the main branch of the New York Public Library in Bryant Park (surprisingly quiet, but limited hours)
* The main branch of the Brooklyn Public Library (also where I meet with in-person students!)
In general, if you live in a decent-sized city, look into indoor public spaces - they're usually busy during weekday lunchtime but very quiet in the evening.
If you want some tips on how to fit studying into your day, you're in luck. I've put together some tips on.....
How to fit 2-3 hours of studying into your day ---->
Reach out and let me know if you have any tips on good study locations, or if you have any other questions about anything at all. I read every message myself.
Very truly yours,
