  • Choose a quiet work area away from other people
  • Follow preferential seating by sitting near the front of the classroom or lecture theatre
  • Remove distractions being close by such as televisions, windows, kitchen, games and personal devices
  • Choose a study space in which the door can be shut
  • Use noise reduction headset if surrounding noise is distracting
  • Ergonomically optimize the study area so that the chair, desk and computer are all at the correct height and position
  • Remove clutter and unnecessary items from the study area
