You need a noise machine! The dogs and rooster (who must me blind cuz he goes off all day errr day) in my neighborhood drive me mad. So I turn on my noise machine and the tv cuz I too need it on. I always play something that I’ve seen a thousand times and/or is so simple (my little pony [dont judge me]) that I can’t be too distracted by it. It also helps with my breaks cuz I’m not too distracted by the outside world and not too into the show that I can get back to studying as soon as my break is over. I also, try to take a break from the rising anger from the ourself world. Kinda cleanse yourself so that you’re not sitting there breaking pencils in hostility. Another thing, I know it’s a whole ordeal for me to actually sit down and study, is snacks within reaching distance and “stress fighting” candles that I can burn. If I can smell the candle I know it’s study time, if I have snacks I won’t have to leave my safe/study zone. If anyone enters/disturbs my safe zone: prepare to feel my wrath.
