Pop quiz! It's almost class time, do you (A) open your computer on the couch while your binge-watching The Office at the same time?, (B) sit at the dining room table while your siblings or roommates wander around making breakfast and talking?, or (C) find a spot in a quiet room to set up alone? (The answer is C, no matter how great the other two options are.) Think of this way: studying with no distractions will help you focus and get through the material more effectively, meaning you'll be done quicker and can move on with your day.
