With school starting back up, we’re sharing some ways to set up for academic success at home. Whether you or your children are attending classes, following these steps can lead to better mindfulness and increased productivity. Here are four ways to prepare your home for a productive school year.
1. Prepare an Easy-to-Clean Study Space
Designate a space that is just meant for focused studying or completing projects. Keep this space free of toys or clutter. By having this dedicated space, you or your student will always have a distraction-free working environment to write papers, study for exams, or finish projects.
2. Use Storage Containers for Quick Clean-Up
Keep school supplies (like pencils, erasers, note cards, etc.) in clearly marked or see-through storage containers. This will make it easier to find supplies when you need them and to put them away when you don’t. It can also help you cut down on clutter by seeing what you do and do not need in your study space.
3. Keep Cleaning Supplies Easily Accessible
Projects can get messy. Study snacks can leave surfaces sticky or wet. Whether it’s from a paper mache volcano or some chocolate milk that tipped over, spills can be distracting for you or your student. To stop the spill from damaging homework, keep cleaning supplies like cleaning wipes or paper towels easily accessible. This can help with quick wipe-ups and mess control.
4. Schedule Regular Home Cleanings
Studies have shown that having too much clutter around can decrease your ability to focus on a task. Whether it’s weekly, monthly, or quarterly, regular home cleanings can help you maintain a healthy and organized learning environment.
