The most important meal of the day 👐

Having the right study space can be the difference between putting your work off until the last minute and actually wanting to work. Here are some tips on how to create your perfect study space, no desk required. 

pick a spot

 If you already have a desk, then this may already be done for you. If not, look around for somewhere that has good lighting (natural is a bonus!) and is in an area that’s not too busy or loud. It doesn’t have to be big – it could be a corner, or even your bed. 

pick a desk 

Now that you’ve found a spot, you need either a desk or some sort of other surface to work on. My favorites: (ordered from most expensive to least)

Desks: Lots of storage (Ikea) ⋙ Bamboo (ikea) ⋙ Glass (walmart)

Lap Desks: Comfortable  ⋙ Compact
