3 Basics of Study Environments  No distractions! Avoid anywhere noisy and activities that might interest you and take you away from the task at hand.  It’s good to be alone! Studying in groups works for some, but for most, being on your own away from people or friends who might get you off topic can definitely help with concentration.  Turn off the tunes! If you find yourself singing along to the music or following your TV show too carefully, turn them off. Background noise is absolutely fine, but don’t get too distracted!  Get comfortable! Go someplace quiet, where you can relax and focus on getting your studying done.
