Where and when do you study?

I thought it would be fun to post

1. Where do you study? (Home office, in bed, school, library, etc, and WHY? Can you only focus In a library? Would you never get anything done if you were in the living room with the distraction of the tv??, etc)

In addition: 2. When do you study?? Early morning? Late at night after work? Etc.

I pretty much have to study at school, preferably in the library. I'm so distracted at home it's ridiculous. I study during "regular" hours haha during the day, sometime in the afternoon. I know that's not regular for a lot of people.

I usually study either in my room or at my desk. now when I study...welll.....sometimes during my lunch break, at work(shhhhh) and always AFTER I put my daughter to bed

it's usually been on my couch at home...I've had a preschooler the since I started back to school. soo I always studied where I could watch him play. But it's so easy to get distracted at home. Since he is starting school this year I forsee a lot more studying at the school library. No laundry or dishwasher to load or stuff to do there....so I can study distraction free

I have a home office and usually study there, but sometimes I move downstairs to the living room for a change of scenery. We dont have kids yet though, and my husband is pretty quiet, so I have some flexibility. I'm sure once we have a little one, I'll be holed up in the office full time. :p

I prefer to study at night, I'm naturally more productive then. I really think you retain things better when it's the last thing on your mind before sleep.

Study in bed with coffee early morning(usually before 5am). Before school in a group, very rarely in evening.

Good day, sarahjeanleach:

Some days at school in their learning center/library; mostly at home in a dedicated study area that my wife and I share. When varies based on the day of week and what else is going on, but since I'm a full time student, typically between 8 AM and 5 PM.

Thank you.

I used to study in my bedroom at my nice big desk. I could shut the door, and my room had nice grey/blue walls and great lighting. Now, however, we're in-between houses (sold current to the in-laws, haven't moved to new one) and my desk has been packed up. My husband made room on our Elfa shelf system for my computer, but I can't stand it. That room is open to the kitchen where MiL is, living room where my 5yo is, walls are burnt orange, poor lighting options... it's too much!

Once 5yo starts school, I'll be studying Monday-Friday during 5yo's school time, in my room with my newly acquired tablet and some peace and quiet.

I study where ever I can find an absolutely quiet place...like you can hear a pin drop kind of quiet. And no distractions. Also, I study whenever I have the chance.

Pretty much studied wherever I could. I brought my notes with me everywhere. Even got a good 30 minutes of studying in once while stuck in traffic. :yes:

1. Sometimes I study at home. Sometimes I study at the local public library. Sometimes I study at work during downtime. If I'm feeling distracted and need to study a large amount of material, I'm definitely headed to the library where I do not have the comfort of being at home.

2. My most productive time for studying would be the overnight hours, more precisely between 9:00pm and 6:00am. I'm a nocturnal person.
