The reality of remote learning can take some getting used to. While there are the significant benefits of wearing pajama pants to class and being in close proximity of the kitchen, it can be extremely hard to focus in your makeshift workspace.
I enjoy listening to white noise to tune out the distractions around me, but the silence can often be deafening. After listening to white noise for an extended period of time, I feel like I can’t escape the humming and crackling once the track is turned off. I have spent the past few weeks working on curating the perfect study playlist in preparation for exam season. I chose an array of lyric-free songs that are impossible to sing along to, and I have seen an improvement with my concentration and productivity.
