Serious study is a no-nonsense endeavor that must only be attempted in the most agreeable of ambience and setting. Although nothing would distract me when I am studying, I consider the table on which I work on an important factor in making sure I get the most out of my studies.

Lately, I found my usual workstation to be seriously wanting in space.
No longer able to accommodate the burgeoning stacks of papers, books, and notes, I resort to the commodious dining table as the de facto place to do my MRCP revision. This way, I have all the essential references at my arm-length disposal, leaving me little excuse to lose concentration.
