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.
