Tune Out Distractions For A Focused Session

Scheduling Your Study Session
Take the time to schedule in your study session. Remember to look at your schedule and fit in your schoolwork where you will be least likely to be interrupted.

Tuning Out Your Greatest Distractions
Your phone, laptop or tablet can be a huge distraction to a successful study session. Turning your phone to airplane mode will halt all of those distracting notifications from coming in. You can check your phone at break time. 

Laptops and computers are sometimes necessary for homework, but much of your time will be spent reading, writing or reviewing. Only have your laptop out when necessary and tuck it away the rest of the time. 

Having a well-stocked study space (check out our blog on creating a study space here) with a calculator, dictionary, thesaurus, atlas and clock will ensure you are not tempted to pick up your phone.

Students - 
  1. Let your family know when you're heading into a study session so they can give you an opportunity to stay focused.
  2. Talk to your family and find out when is supper is served so that you can schedule your sessions around family time.
  3. Put away those items that will distract you and put your phone on airplane mode so you are not distracted by notifications and messages. Consider putting electronics in another room as well. Out of sight, out of mind!

Parents - 
  1. Help your kids learn to schedule their time.
  2. Do your best to respect the study session. Don't interrupt!
  3. Keep distractions to a minimum in the rest of the house.
  4. Check in with your kids to see what their schedule will be. Work together so that family time is a priority as well as school work.
