Finding the best way to concentrate and study
August 13, 2012
Whether you're enrolled in an accredited online college or you're attending classes on campus as a nontraditional student, you'll need to find a strategy to focus on studying. It can be difficult to unplug and get away from it all, especially if you're working around kids at home on a regular basis.
However, there are a few tactics you can use to focus on your studies and make sure you excel in your courses. First, try to create an area in your home where you can seclude yourself from distractions. Even if you don't have a home office, you can turn your bedroom or a corner of your living room into a study zone by removing items, such as your television and stereo.
Next, don't neglect the resources available to you - there are many libraries and cafes you can take advantage of to study and get some last-minute cramming done.
Finally, make note of places where you study best and how you feel when you're most productive. Knowing your own study habits can help you stay on track and find success in your courses.
Luckily, you won't have to worry about your financial situation if you take advantage of scholarships for moms and grants for parents, which can help reduce the cost of tuition.
