Study in the right place

The place where you study should make concentrating easier. It’s important to avoid distractions which is why choosing the right place to study is key.

The best place to study is a library, but different people have different preferences and habits, and there are many people who usually study in their own rooms who are also productive.

Have a calendar

Willpower
