Are you looking for ways to create the ideal school workspace at home? Whether you sit in an office or in the corner of the bedroom, use these tips to ensure you have what you need to get in the zone.
Be focused.
Separate yourself from the rest of the house to remove distractions. Whether it’s a curtain hung by a suspension rod or a separate office, divide yourself from the rest of the house. Give yourself the undivided attention you deserve in order to pass that online quiz.
Be comfortable.
If you are sitting at the computer for lengthy periods of time be sure to have a supportive chair, proper lighting and sitting in a well ventilated room. According to the OSHA, Occupational Safety & Health Administration, a comfortable working posture is one when the joints are naturally aligned.
Be happy.
What or who puts a smile on your face each day? Is it a picture of your furry animal or a picture of a loved one? Hang them up around your workspace to brighten up your day. Positive thoughts are sure to help you through a study session.
Be resourceful.
Keep study material at your fingertips. With an organized desk, you’ll know exactly where that resource material is when looking up the definition for that complicated word. The ability to have study material within reach will keep you focused on your work.
