If you study at the same hours every day, you will establish a routine that will became a regular part of your life, such as eating or sleeping. You will be mentally prepared when the study time arrives.

The first thing you have to do to learn something is to concentrate, and a good study zone would help. Prepare the room where you are going to study so you can concentrate.
