Arrange the time betterAs a SOHO, you needn’t work in a certain period of time. If you need a very quiet environment, try to work at midnight.5. Use other ways to make yourself betterIf the noise is too loud and strong, then take a rest! Listen to music, watch films, or walk outside, do something else. Start your work when it’s quiet and you have enough energy.71. The writer’s house is located in a quieter place in the city without any noises around.72.

College libraries are usually quieter than public libraries.75. In order to work better, the writer was sure to put on earphones while working at home.76.
