When do you schedule your blocked-off study time? Some people work better in the morning, while others prove to be more productive at night.

Different people grasp new concepts using different strategies. If you think you are a visual learner, listening to a story simply will not help you as much as reading it. Print out a copy or watch a video about it to get the information embedded in your memory more effectively.

If that doesn’t work for you, it might be easier to leave a distracting place and find somewhere quieter to study. You just have to discover which strategy best works for you.
