<p>Electronics or old fashioned paper 'n pen? Computer or laptop? Music or silence?
I just need a notebook, textbooks, my iPod, good lighting, and preferably a healthy dose of procrastination-induced panic. What works best for you?</p>
<p>Well I have all my notes and everything on my computer for most of my classes, so I’m kinda forced to use that unless I felt like wasting a lot of paper to print them off, so I get distracted easily. </p>
<p>Music, yes.</p>
<p>Textbook, yes.</p>
<p>Pressure, yes.</p>
<p>Music for all classes except physics and calc.</p>
<p>I don’t mind noise around me while I’m studying (I study in the cafeteria and stuff), but it can’t be music with lyrics because I’ll be concentrating on the meaning of the lyrics rather than what I need to study.
I can sometimes listen to music if it’s just homework and I already know how to do it.
I tend to alternate between textbooks and Internet resources. Textbooks are more comprehensive than most video tutorials, though.</p>
<p>Quiet solitude and a large workspace with plenty of room for organized chaos.</p>
<p>Paper/ on my IPad</p>
<p>If its typed it must be un Georgia. </p>
<p>Lots of colorful Sharpie and Papermate pens and liquid highlighters. </p>
<p>Music also.</p>
<p>Paper, pencil. Only listen to music when I’m very tired, like essays at 2 a.m. Usually instrumental music, turning faster/louder/harder as it gets later. Lyrics ok sometimes. </p>
<p>But the best environment is doing things last-minute, I get stuff done much faster then.</p>
<p>Silence dude, I’m a singer so when I hear music with other sangers it causes me to either analyze what’s being played or sing along. Classical music is an exception however.</p>
<p>I don’t really study so I wouldn’t know. :|</p>
<p>But when reading for school (which is usually on the bus) I listen to my iPod. I think it helps in remembering what happens. We were reading Jane Eyre at the same time I was obsessed with Helena Beat, so now whenever I hear the song I literally think about the beginning of the story.</p>
