Finding Your Study Zone

What's "the zone?" Where is it? And how can you get there? Being "in a zone" means different things to different people, but it has some things in common with them all:

• It means being focused.
• It means blocking out all distractions.
• It means concentrating all your energy and attention on the task at hand.

When you're in the zone, things get done. Not only do they get done, they get done right, and they get done quickly. (And when you're NOT in the zone, things may get done, but they take a lot longer and they might not turn out so well.)

Nobody can stay in the zone all the time. Everybody needs to slow down once in awhile and rest the brain. But if you can learn to get in the zone when you need to, you can pack more quality studying into less time — and that leaves more time left over for you.
