Organize your time. Plan on studying at home during the quietest times during the day. Instead of trying to study when your kids are running around or your roommates are playing loud music, fit quiet time into your schedule to give you ample opportunity to pursue your degree.
Find a place to study. Buy a desk if you don't have one. Designate this location in your home as a place where you study. Do nothing but study at this spot. Set up your area with the stuff you may need to study at home.
Check the lighting in the area that you choose. Make sure the room is bright enough for those late nights of studying.
Set the mood. Play music that sparks your attentiveness, or, if you are like some that need background noise, turn on the television. Buy a set of earphones or speakers if you don't have them already. This investment will pay off if it helps you study better for your degree.
Stick to your routine and schedule. Before classes start or during the first week, get to know what makes you the most comfortable when you study at home. Do not sway. You will start to train your mind to react to the setting and get into a mood conducive to thinking and learning.
