Alongside Work and Family 4 · Concentration: Distraction, Breaks, Environment
6 learning units · ~25 minutes
How to stay focused while studying: work in segments with a fixed end and real breaks, put your phone away, and set up your study space so that distraction takes one more step. In class, you use your laptop only for the class. This way, you use scarce study time at home, between work and family, with as few interruptions as possible.
