How to Study in a Distracting Environment
Unfortunately, not everyone is privileged enough to have their own personal study space or access to a quiet library or cosy café - so here are my top tips for when you have to study in a distracting environment!
Headphones are Your Shield: Invest in noise-cancelling headphones or play some soothing instrumental music or white noise to block out external sounds.
Focused Study Sessions: Break your study time into shorter, highly focused sessions with designated break times, such as by using the Pomodoro method. It's easier to maintain concentration for a shorter period.
Offline Mode: Turn off notifications on your devices and set your phone to silent. Only check it during scheduled breaks.
Design a Study Schedule: Establish a routine for studying in distracting environments so that your brain knows when it's time to focus.
Mindfulness Techniques: Practice mindfulness and concentration exercises to train your brain to stay on task despite the chaos.
Be Flexible: Accept that there might still be interruptions. Stay adaptable and return to your studies as soon as possible.
Study Off-Peak Hours: If you can, study during off-peak hours when the environment is less crowded and noisy. In addition, pick the quietest part of the chaotic room to study in.
Remember, distractions are a part of life, but you have the power to overcome them - and hopefully get that essay written while you're at it!

Hello, hows it going?
Im so depressed and unwilling since… Thursday… Friday? theres so much sadness everywhere and as much as I try avoiding it, it’s still round me, and it really does make a negative impact on my daily life. I’ve been whining about this for four days now though, so I’ll just talk about some of the… slightly productive things I did.
I didn’t do much for the majority of the weekend, so my Saturday and Sunday were just me sitting around doing nothing, on Sunday afternoon™️ though I realized I had a lot of assignments for the following week and that I had not gotten started on any of them so I started studying and decided to do my assignments for my architectural expression class which I was supposed to have on Monday (today), BUT THEN our professor let us know that the class was cancelled this week. So I stopped doing that assignment and did nothing for a few hours again then I came back and did like 50% of my design class assignment, which was researching function spaces in hotels. And then I decided that I couldn’t study more and I just went to sleep.
Then today I had a lazy morning again but I did get started at noon, which was an improvement from the days before, I finished the research I had to do and started working on my assignments for my sketching class which are… a lot. And all of them are due this Wednesday… I have like four different assignments, and I’ve only managed to do one of them today. I have classes for the whole day tomorrow, so it’s very unlikely that I will get to do the rest of them, unless time magic suddenly becomes real.
I’m living off of milk-tea and toast. Send help.

Not where I'm at
For the cafe I enjoy, there's a roof over me and a big bowl that regularly gets refilled dogs passing by. OMG u couldn't take my eyes off of an adorable bulldog that would take sips while patiently waiting for their owner to stop saying hi and talking to everyone.
Doggies people watch too. Ohh I'm not a spying creep. Thing is I try to stay aware of everything happening around me. Not trying to read anyone unless they make me uneasy.
What's this reading thing you're talking about?
Have you ever watched suspects being interviewed at police stations or seen Lie to me? That's where you can pick up what they're looking for.
Have fun looking everything's up!
