To study effectively in a noisy or shared environment, use noise-canceling headphones or earplugs to minimize distractions. Play white noise or instrumental music to mask background sounds. Set clear boundaries with housemates by communicating your study schedule and requesting quiet hours.
Organize your workspace in a less trafficked area, like a corner or a separate room. Break study sessions into shorter, focused intervals using techniques like the Pomodoro method to maintain concentration. Lastly, adapt by practicing mindfulness or active reading to improve focus despite disruptions.
