College transition 101.

Where you study can make or break your study time.  You can manage distractions by creating your own study environment.

Here are six tips to help you create the study mood:

1. Choose your study place. Don’t use that place for anything else but studying.
2. Get everything you need in that one place.
3. Control your environment. Keep the visual stimulation and audio input at a level that allows you to concentrate.
4. Keep a professional attitude about studying. We are at work. Don’t relax or play.
5. Establish a start time and an end time. Make studying an appointment with yourself. Don’t do anything else but study during this time.
