Where do you prefer to study?

In my case:

>At the library
>Savant-like productivity

>At home
>Spend all day fapping and browsing 4chan

Is there a way to force myself to focus at home or should I just always go to the library?

I have the exact same problem. At home, I'm nearly unproductive.

Libraries are much better for very obvious reasons, but my local library has started putting in sofas and magazines are open areas to sit, appealing to normies and extroverts, and I just don't feel comfortable there anymore.

couches are for everyone you moron. Just yesterday I was sprawled out on a couch in the library and I read 70 pages out of a textbook in one sitting.

I don't see any other way than to make a special room in your home where it's for you to study only, no computer nearby. Either that, or use software to block internet.


If neither of those work, consider selling the computer.

Libraries are filled with girls studying English, education or business who are just sooo stressed out and really needed that last double frap to crank out her 5 page book report, who're now chatting across the room with their sorority sisters.

Aka, not a good place to study for anyone who hopes to actually get work done

At home. I feel self-conscious at the library which hinders my productivity.

>> No.9187886

luckily my uni has a big library and there's bound to be an area on on of the six floors where there's nobody in the area, and at those times I can get a lot of shit done.

There's some guy who's always in the computer section for what seems to be 24 hours a day and he's constantly coughing like he's got some horrible terminal lung disease and I can't stand to be there and I can never get anything done. Wish I had a laptop so I could go anywhere else, because I could definitely be more productive there than at home. The ability to do stuff is inversely proportional to the amount of people around you in libraries. Trying to get anything done on the ground floor is a mistake.

Literally me except for the ear muffs. Do they really make any difference when you're already listening to white noise?

If I'm going to be working from home then I take a shower and get dressed/ completely ready like I'd be going out...It seems to trick the brain into a "do work" mentality over bumming around.

My library is full of screaming kids. It pisses me off too because its literally 2 blocks from my house so I am literally wasting a possible resource because shitty parents think it's a daycare.

At home, although I do sometimes have problems with distractions, I get far too angry if I don't understand something and I like to yell.

This is how I feel, minus the office job:
