9. Time Management

Let's face it, we could all do with brushing up on our time management skills and from my research I found a few effective ways to improve this. Minimising distractions would be a great place to start. Choose a place where there is silence and little distractions. I find that posters grasp my attention from otherwise studying so if there are any around you in your designated study area, maybe place them out of sight. Like myself if you are prone to surfing the net or texting on your phone when you are supposed to be studying, an easy way to resolve these problems are to disable the internet and leave your phone in another room. You will then be less likely to get it and start texting, likewise going to the effort of turning back on the internet. Watching television or listening to the radio does not contribute to studying even if they are just on in the background. I personally cannot concentrate with any noise level so silence is a necessity for me.
The environment you study in contributes greatly to how well you retain knowledge. Distractions are to be at a minimum so informing people that you are about to study and to keep interruptions and noise levels to a minimum would be wise. Sitting upright rather than in a chair that is too comfortable or relaxing is more effective for studying rather than using a chair where you tend to lean back or hunch over. Good lighting is essential as is the temperature of the room. A warm room may cause you to become drowsy therefore a cooler temperature would be more beneficial.
