The best thing to do is to define a quiet environment, with good lighting and that is quiet for your study time. It doesn't have to be a very big space, see? The important thing is that it is a place where you can do all the activities that are part of your learning routine: reading, practical questions, video lessons etc.
A good place to do this can be your bedroom, as you can close the door and reduce outside noise. But if you are thinking of studying in bed, amid your pillows and blankets then it might be not a suitable place for study. Because it is the same place where you sleep, it may be that you hit that uncontrollable sleep at the wrong time! Have you thought?
So be Cautious while Choosing the Sacred Corner.

4. Find out how you learn best
Do you know when you spend hours reading content and, at the end of the day, feel like you haven't learned even a third of what you've read? This happens for a very simple reason: you did not study in the most appropriate way for your brain and, automatically, you were not able to absorb the material well.
The famous phrase "you are not everyone" applies very well to studies - after all, each person learns in a different way. In other words, the way your best friend can study at home is not always going to be the most effective way for you. So you need to find out if you learn better by reading, writing, watching video lessons or, who knows, solving exercises.
Decide what is best for you and learn in that way.

Once you find out how you can learn more easily, it is important to choose a study method to use. This will help to save a lot of time and have more productivity on a daily basis. After all, you will always know how to organize your studies.
Don't know which method to choose? No problem: you can test the best known and identify which works best for your routine. One interesting technique is to read the content first and then make a mind map.
You can also test more alternative methods, such as recording audio explaining the material after watching the video lessons or creating questions and answers for each topic. If none of this works, don't think it's the end of the world, okay? You can always adapt activities and create your own method.

6. Take breaks during studies
Many people think that having discipline is synonymous with studying for a whole day and stopping just at bedtime. However, although it seems right and productive, this is a habit that can take all your effort down the drain, bringing a result totally different from the one you want to achieve.
What happens to our brain, when studying without stopping, is exactly the same thing that happens with a machine: some flaws in the system start to appear and, when you realize, everything starts to go wrong. It is at that moment that the tiredness that does not pass appears, the laziness, the matter seems more difficult and the memory, weaker ... has it happened to you? Confess, go!
This is all because your brain has become overloaded! Thus, it is almost impossible to have the courage to absorb new information, discipline to stay focused and even the much-loved motivation in studies. Therefore, always take short breaks during your studies. Ten minutes to go for a walk, listen to a song and think about nothing!

And you know those sites that you insist on accessing on your computer? Block them all during your study period! Believe me: these simple actions can change your life.
