I believe that having your own space to do your homework is one of the best ways to motivate yourself and succeed. Without a dedicated space to getting work done, it’s a lot harder to get started and settled in for a night of homework.
First off, you have to have a desk or a table to yourself. Working in a shared space can be more fun, but it’s also good to have a place where you can leave your books open and you won’t be in anyone’s way. It’s also important to have a bright lamp for late night study sessions. I like to have fun posters and a calendar up so I’m not just staring at a blank wall.
On my desk, I like to keep
- A candle (this one is Sweater Weather by Bath and Body Works – one of my favorite fall scents)
- Some colored pens for brightening up notes
- Extra paper
- Sticky notes & tabs for marking important passages
- A drink & mints
- A book weight (this one is a life changer. Mine is from a local bookstore, but you can find them on Amazon or make your own)
- Extra pens and pencils
What are your homework station essentials?
