3. Customize your study session:
Find a spot where you can actually focus. Limit interruptions.
Jams. Find a study playlist from Spotify, Pandora, YouTube, etc. Find something to listen to without words. If you don’t want to listen to music, consider running a fan or something to keep out random noises.
Make a goal. You will waste your study time if you don’t create a specific goal for yourself. Write it on a sticky, scrap sheet, etc. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH?
