Camy here! Okay, I have to admit I’m in a cleaning phase right now. It seems like when my house and my office is messy, then my thoughts are messy and I just can’t work. I don’t know what the correlation is, but when I see clutter all over my office, I just can’t seem to concentrate on work very well.
But you know what the weird thing was? I didn’t realize this until a few years ago. So all those years in school when I had a hard time concentrating when I was supposed to be studying might be because my room was habitually a disaster area.
So here is some wisdom, learned almost 20 years too late--clean your room, and you might be able to study a bit better. Simple, yes?

So, confess--did you already know this magical secret? What do you do to help you concentrate better?
Oh, I know what you mean! It's like, I clean up the bookshelves and dust them and straighten up the books and pick everything up off of the floor and the pillows sitting nicely... I suddenly feel cleaner and peaceful-er (excuse the made-up word) and, well, I just so get it!
Ahhhhh....welllllll, no I didn't know that.... But thanks so much, 'cause I'm homeschooled and tend to do my work in my room. :)
PS: My little word verification thing right now is frappe...I could really go for one of those right now! :)
Emii--I totally need a clean floor, too!
Trinka--hey, that's great! I hope this tip helps you study better!
I find things are just the opposite for me - at least with writing, not studying. I can't write in a clean room. I think it makes me feel like what I'm writing has to be perfect to match the room, which paralyzes my creativity.
Now that's interesting! I never thought of that.
