Quiet sitting spaces

A Quiet Diner

Coffee Shops are a great place to study because they are fairly quiet, but have background noise, and you can enjoy your favorite beverage from them.

Fresh Air can help the mind focus and keep you calm when working on something difficult.

Sitting spaces in College Campuses are very quiet and comfortable!

Library are mean't to be quiet, so there will be little to no distraction. Plus plenty of study material!

A quiet diner is perfect for a group study because it allows you to talk to the people you're with.

Examples

What makes a good study space?

What

1) The space is free of distractions.

2)Find a spot that's comfortable! it can be hard to focus if you aren't comfortable!

3)Enough space! If you're working with a bunch of textbooks and notebooks, you need to have enough space.

4)Set the lighting. You may find that you're more productive at night or in the daytime. Set the light to mimic that.

5)Keep it clean! Your mind can get stressed out if there's a giant mess while you're studying.

6)Personalize it. Personalizing your study space can prove very effective because it makes your space not feel so boring or plain.

Personal Examples

Personal Examples

1)My study space at home follows all 6 recommendations

2)I found a study space on my campus with low lighting, very quiet and has a nice, relaxing fire place. It follows all 6 recommendations as well.

3)Coffee shops like Starbucks have plenty of table space for studying as long as it's not crowded and busy.

Why am I making this and who is it for?

Why and Who

Why?: Personal struggle that make me want to help people.

Who?: Everyone and Anyone who needs this information.

Significance?: Everyone has to study for something.

Why

Why

To help others find the tools and strategies they need to succeed in studying and in school. I had to adjust to doing homework and studying at home when the pandemic hit, which was difficult, and I want to help others in their time of need.

Who?

Who

Anyone who's currently attending any form of school. There are adults who go back to college to get a different degree, and there are small kids who want to do well in school. This presentation is for any and all ages. I personally have been sharing this research I've found with my boyfriend who is also in college and taking high level classes. I've also been sharing it with my younger brother who is studying for his GED test.

Significance

Significance

This topic matters because so many people are studying for school or for other things. When the pandemic hit, almost everyone had to work from home, which was a huge adjustment for a lot of people. A lot of people who have to study from home dont know how to go about it, so this is the information I would give those people.

Techniques

Techniques

I'm going to go over some techniques that help guide how to take notes, how to study, and make it easier to look at your notes later.

Colorcoding

Colorcoding

You may have seen other people colorcode their notes before, but how should you go about colorcoding?

Some of the writing tools you can use for this involve:

Highlighters

Colored Pens

Colored Pencils

Crayons

Keep it consistent!

Create a key for how you will colorcode your notes. Use colors that are pleasing to you and combine them with colors that compliment them.

Table of Contents

Table of Contents

Keeping a table of contents can help you easily find the notes you took later on when you need to use them to study. Including page numbers and numbering all of the pages in your notebook is an important part of this. Most people like number their pages by putting a number in the top corner of the page.

Organization

Organization

Colorcoding and a table of contents can help you organize your notes, but those arent the only tools you can use, especially if you're taking notes digitally.

Separating notes from different classes into different notebooks/folders can help a lot.

You can use flashcards to help summarize the most important pieces of information that you wrote down.

Archive notes that you don't need anymore. Write down what each test is supposed to cover and find where those pages start.

Put into Practice

How I'm Practicing This

I'm researching places around me that have good spaces for me to study, and what techniques I can use and this is what I've found.

Where

Where

  • In one of the buildings on my college campus, there are so many study spaces. One of my favorites is a sofa you would find at a boowling alley, in front of a fireplace. It's very quiet and has a nice atmosphere with the low light of the fireplace and windows.
  • Another one of my favorite places is my study space at my apartment. I have a list of all the things I need to do for homework, and limited distractions on my desk. I have two monitors which makes it a lot easier to get my homework done.

Techniques

Techniques

  • I like to use a Table of Contents for organizing my notebook.
  • I've also been trying to color code my notes, but I've been noticing the color bleeds through the paper, so from now on I'll switch my notebooks to the ones that have thicker paper. I also want to try different writing utensils to see which ones I like best.

Total amount of time and how it was spent.

How long did this presentation take

  • Researching this topic took about two hours.
  • Making the presentation took about another two hours.
  • Sharing this with others took abouut 30 minutes each twice, so about 1 hour.
  • Acting on what I've learned took about 9 hours, because I kept using what I had learned to do homework and studying for class.
  • Reflecting took about one hour while I was making the presentation.

2+2+1+9+1=15 hours total
