Setting a Study Location
Your schedule will work better if you also have a regular place to study. The public library is an option, as is a local college library. You can make a place to study at home, too, and it will be best if the place is only (or primarily) used for studying. The same recliner in which you watch TV is not the best place to sit for serious studying — you associate that place with relaxation. A regular study place, if carefully adhered to early on, will have the same effect on your work habits as a regular study place. Also, as much as possible, keep all books, papers and supplies for your school work in one place and threaten dire punishment if anything is borrowed. This may mean that each member of the family gets a study box or office,
which is fine, if it makes it possible for you to sit down and get to work without hunting all over for notebooks.
