How to Create a Great Study Space For Your Third Level Irish Education
HomeHak is going to show you how to create (or find) a study spot that lets you get in and do your best work. We’ll examine the do’s and don’t’s of study space creation, and the key principles to make sure your study space does what it should: help you study better.
1. Remove Distractions from Your Study Space
As in so many areas of life, it’s useful to start with what to leave out and then add things from there. Naturally, what puts you in a studious mood will differ from person to person, but here are some things you should probably avoid in your study space:
- Video games.
- Your phone.
- Messy food/drinks
- Other people unless for group projects
These are all things that, while fun or even productive-seeming, are ultimately distracting. The goal of a study space is to maximize the attention you can devote to studying while minimizing the amount of effort necessary to do so. You can’t do that if the space is full of distractions.
2. Have Easy Access to Everything You Need Before You Start
Now that we’ve gone over what to leave out, let’s get to what to include. This is a long list, and much of it depends on what exactly you’re studying. For instance, you’ll need different materials for writing an English paper than for preparing for a chemistry exam. To help you out, I’ve divided the list into two sections: essential and optional items.
Essential Study Space Items
Comfortable yet ergonomic chair, an external mouse, your computer, Textbooks, Notebooks, Index cards, Pad of paper to write down distracting thoughts, Plenty of writing utensils, Calculator and Good lighting.
- Whiteboard and dry erase markers, water, Healthy snacks, Inspiring decorations, Paper calendar, Study music or ambient noise and Headphones.
3. Pay Attention to Lighting
According to a German study , researchers found that the students were more creative under warm light (3000k), yet concentrated better under cold light (6000k). To put this into action, try to study near a window, so you have some natural light coming in.Another tip is to experiment with different brightness levels and color temperatures until you find something that works well for you.
4. Adjust Your Study Space to the Ideal Temperature (if possible)
Aside from color temperature, the actual warm-cold temperature of the room you’re in is also a big factor. Not only can an environment that’s too hot or cold cause you to be consciously distracted, but it can also cause you to make more mistakes in your work unconsciously. Researchers reviewed several studies on how temperature affects office worker productivity. They found that, on average, productivity is highest in a temperature range between 22°C and 25°C. Below or above that range, errors increase.
Firstly, remove distractions from your study space. Secondly, have easy access to everything you need before you start. Additonally, pay attention to lighting. Finally, adjust your study space to the ideal temperature. We hope you enjoyed HomeHaks top tips to create a better study space!
Jinsi ya kuunda nafasi nzuri ya masomo kwa elimu yako ya Ireland ya kiwango cha tatu: HomeHack inakuonyesha jinsi ya kuunda (au kupata) nafasi ya masomo ambayo inakuwezesha kuingia na kufanya kazi yako bora. Tutachunguza kufanya na si ya kujenga nafasi ya kujifunza, na kanuni muhimu ya kuhakikisha nafasi yako ya kujifunza hufanya nini ni lazima: kukusaidia kujifunza bora. 1. Uwe na mtazamo wa kweli Kuondoa Distractions kutoka nafasi yako ya utafiti Kama katika maeneo mengi ya maisha, ni muhimu kuanza na nini kuondoka nje na kisha kuongeza mambo kutoka huko. Kwa kweli, jinsi unavyofanya kazi ya kujifunza inatofautiana kutoka kwa mtu mmoja hadi mwingine, lakini hapa kuna mambo ambayo unapaswa kuepuka katika nafasi yako ya kujifunza: - Simu yako. - Chakula cha mchanganyiko - Watu wengine isipokuwa kwa miradi ya kikundi Hizi ni vitu vyote ambavyo, wakati wa kufurahisha au hata kuonekana kuwa na uzalishaji, mwishowe ni vya kuvutia. Lengo la nafasi ya kujifunza ni kuongeza uangalifu unaoweza kujitolea kwa kujifunza wakati wa kupunguza kiasi cha juhudi zinazohitajika kufanya hivyo. Huwezi kufanya hivyo ikiwa nafasi hiyo imejaa vitu vinavyovunja fikira. 2. Uwezekano wa kupata Kuwa na urahisi wa kupata kila kitu unahitaji kabla ya kuanza Sasa kwamba sisi wamekwenda juu ya nini kuondoka nje, hebu kupata nini ni pamoja na. Hii ni orodha ndefu, na mengi yake inategemea nini hasa wewe ni kujifunza. Kwa mfano, utahitaji vifaa tofauti kwa ajili ya kuandika karatasi ya Kiingereza kuliko kwa ajili ya maandalizi ya mtihani wa kemia. Ili kukusaidia, nimegawanya orodha hiyo katika sehemu mbili: vitu muhimu na vitu visivyo lazima. Vifaa vya kujifunza: kiti cha kupumzika lakini ergonomic, panya ya nje, kompyuta yako, vitabu vya masomo, kadi za orodha, pad ya karatasi ya kuandika mawazo ya kuingilia, vifaa vingi vya kuandika, Calculator na taa nzuri. - Whiteboard na kavu kufuta alama, maji, vitafunio afya, kuchochea mapambo, karatasi kalenda, utafiti wa muziki au kelele mazingira na vichwa vya sauti. 3. Uwe na mtazamo wa kweli Utafiti wa Ujerumani unaonyesha kuwa wanafunzi wana uwezo wa kuunda zaidi chini ya mwanga wa joto (k) na wana uwezo wa kukaza fikira chini ya mwanga wa baridi (k). Ili kufanya hivyo, jaribu kusoma karibu na dirisha, ili uwe na mwanga wa asili unaokuja.Ncha nyingine ni majaribio na viwango tofauti vya mwangaza na joto la rangi hadi upate kitu kinachofanya kazi vizuri kwako. 4. Uwe na uhakika Rekebisha nafasi yako ya kujifunza kwa joto bora (ikiwa inawezekana) Mbali na joto la rangi, joto halisi la joto-baridi la chumba unachoishi pia ni sababu kubwa. Si tu inaweza mazingira ambayo ni moto sana au baridi kusababisha wewe kuwa consciously distracted, lakini pia inaweza kusababisha wewe kufanya makosa zaidi katika kazi yako unconsciously. Watafiti walichunguza uchunguzi kadhaa ulioonyesha jinsi joto linavyoathiri uzalishaji wa wafanyakazi wa ofisini. Kwa mfano, utafiti unaonyesha kwamba watu wengi wanafanya kazi kwa joto la kati ya 22 na 25 ° C. Chini au juu ya kiwango hicho, makosa huongezeka. Kwanza, ondoa vitu vinavyokusumbua katika chumba chako cha kujifunza. Pili, kuwa na upatikanaji rahisi wa kila kitu unahitaji kabla ya kuanza. Kwa kuongezea, makini na taa. Mwishowe, weka mahali pa kujifunza mahali pazuri. Tunatumaini umefurahia HomeHaks tips juu ya kuunda nafasi bora ya kujifunza!
