With these tips and a dash of determination and willpower, you will definitely find yourself powering through your study sessions from home.
Make a Timetable
Just like your college or university, make sure you make a timetable and adhere to the same. Since you're used to working through a schedule, you will find it easier when you have your day laid out in front of you. Not only will this help organize your time, but also help you when you're juggling with multiple tasks at hand. Schedule your breaks and give yourself enough breaks between your study time. Make sure that you don't treat your timetable like a piece of paper and make sure to follow the same.
Have a Fixed Study Place
Since we are at home, we often find ourselves lazing on the bed or the couch throughout the day. It is important that you create an area that is dedicated to just your study. Make sure that it is clean and organized as well as equipped with all your study material and stationery. When you're in this area make sure you mean business. Whilst it's easy to end up napping when you're on your bed, this dedicated study place will make sure that you only spend time doing what you're mean to be doing.
Refrain From Multitasking
Since you're at home you will find yourself with a mammoth list of tasks apart from studying. Not only do these tasks includes your household chores, but also includes a list of other activities as well. Make sure to not take too many tasks at hand. Stick to your timetable and plan an achievable list of tasks. Don't go overboard but make sure you always strive to achieve more than you did yesterday.
Sleep Well
Being at home, it is natural that your sleep schedule has gone for a toss. While it's fun to stay up till the wee hours of the night, it does ruin your morning. Thus, even if you're at home it is important that you get a goodnight's sleep so that you're fresh during the day to achieve all the tasks you have at hand.
Eat Well
Staying at home is equivalent to binging on a lot of munchies. It is important that you keep yourself energised for all the studying you have at hand and eat a nutritious meal. Set a time for all your meals so that you don't find yourself gorging on food while you are supposed to be studying.
Keep your Gadgets Away

An easy distraction, you will find yourself caught in its web spending countless hours on the phone. And before you know it, you have spent all your day on it. Therefore, the time you have dedicated for studying make sure that you stay away from your phone.
Stay Fit

Socialize
