ABA Journal Impara l'inglese in modo naturale
Qui ad ABA English siamo convinti che per potersi concentrare quando si impara una lingua è importante tenere in ordine e pulito l’ambiente dove si studia.
Qui di seguito dei consigli per creare un ambiente minimalista in cui poter studiare tranquillamente.
1. Clear your desktop
Aside from your computer, your inbox tray, your phone, and maybe a nice photo of a loved one, there should be nothing on top of your desk. No papers (again, unless you’re working on them), no notes, no stapler or pens or other junk. Clear as much of it off as possible. Keep it as clear as possible, as a clear desk is a relaxing workspace.
2. Get rid of knick-knacks
Many people don’t even think about all the little trinkets they have on top of their desk. They’re usually unnecessary. Toss ‘em!
3. Clear the walls
Many people have all kinds of stuff posted on their walls. It creates visual clutter. Get them off your walls. If it’s a reference guide, put it on your computer and set up a hotkey so you can call the guide up with a keystroke when needed.
4. Clear your computer desktop
Lots of people also have tons of icons on their computer desktop. It’s the same principle as a real desktop — clear it of everything unnecessary, so you can have a nice simple workspace. Keeping icons on your desktop is usually inefficient. It’s hard to find them among a jumble of files. If they’re necessary to open many times a day, file them away and use a hotkey to call them up. Quicksilver for Mac or Autohotkey for Windows are my favorite programs for this.
5. Go through each drawer
One drawer at a time, take out all the contents and eliminate everything you don’t need. It’s much nicer to use drawers if you can open them and see order. Have a designated spot for each item and make sure to put those items back in that spot immediately, every time.
6. Clear the floor
There should be nothing on your floor but your desk and chair. No files, no boxes. Keep it clear!
