Description:
I’m a student trying to work remotely part-time, but my dorm room (or shared apartment) is often noisy and full of distractions. Any tips for creating a somewhat productive remote workspace in such an environment?

Noise-cancelling headphones are your absolute best investment. They make a world of difference for focus. Even good quality earbuds that seal well can help a lot if headphones are too bulky.
Keep your designated workspace tidy and organized. A cluttered space can lead to a cluttered mind, especially when you're already dealing with external distractions. Put things away when you're done working.
White noise apps or websites (or even a fan) can help drown out inconsistent background noise and create a more stable sound environment for focus. Experiment to see what works for you.
try using focus playlists or ambient sounds that help you tune out chaos. sometimes music can block distractions better than silence
