That multiple locations works better than a single one is pretty counter to everything people parrot,
Do people really parrot that? I've spent my fair share of time in the educational system myself, my wife is a teacher, and I've got a number of children in school, and I've never once heard anyone recommend that pupils study in a single location.
- Groxx 16y agoEvery suggestion I've heard from any school system has been to set up a single, quiet "homework space". And essentially anyone who's gone through said system says the same thing, without examining it - it's what they were told, it effectively worked for them, why look into it more?
- jamesbritt 16y agoIt's what I was told growing up, and now I'm wondering if studying in a variety of locations might not help one to acquire better focusing skills. To be able to do some quick studying or review no matter where your (provided you have the material) seems an epic win. Stuck on a bus? Do some studying. In a boring class? Study for another one. It's sort of like writers who say they have a schedule they stick to, no matter what; they don't wait for the magic inspiration, they sit their ass down and get to work. Likewise, if you insist on waiting until you have the Just So study environment, you may never get to studying, or will do a lot less of it.
