✅ Good lighting is helpful in an effective study space to ensure you can read the material and keep you awake.
❌ Uncomfortable seating is not effective. When studying, you want a COMFORTABLE seat with good back/lumbar support that you could sit in for long periods of time.
❌ Disorganized area is not effective. When studying you want an ORGANIZED area as less cluttering allows you to concentrate on the task at hand. Many students get distracted by too many items in their study space. Another aspect of organization is making sure your material is in order so you can find it efficiently to save time!
✅ Free from distractions is very effective in a study space, as I already mentioned above. The biggest factor for students is probably their phones! Try your best to put it aside or turn it off when studying.
✅ Comfortable temperatures do enhance an effective study space. Have you ever taken a test in a classroom that’s under a vent and FREEZING cold, or a classroom that’s SO hot you’re dripping sweat!? That’s no way to study! Keep the room at a normal room temperature.
Hope this helps :)
