How to Stay Focused While Studying (Even in a Noisy Dorm)

Roommates gaming? Hallway chaos? You can still lock in for 3+ hours. Here’s how.

1. Build a “Focus Cave”

• Desk vs wall
• Noise-cancelling headphones
• “Studying — Do Not Disturb” sign

2. Use Brown Noise or Lo-Fi

YouTube 10-hour tracks block voices. Boosts focus 40%.

3. Outsource Essays with EssayPro

4. 90/15 Rule

90 min deep work → 15 min walk. Repeat.

5. Phone in Another Room

One ping = 23 min lost. Use Freedom app to block.

6. Study in “Dead Hours”

7–9 AM or 11 PM–1 AM = dorm silence.

7. Body Doubling

Study near quiet friend. Silent accountability.
