Avoid distractions<\/b><\/p>\n
It is incredibly easy to become distracted when attempting to do class work remotely. Unless you\u2019re using your phone for class, put it on silent and place it out of reach. If you usually keep several tabs open at once in your browser, shut down all of the ones not related to school work.<\/p>\n
Create a to-do list<\/b><\/p>\n
Write a list of everything you need to accomplish each day. Make sure to schedule some time for breaks so you don\u2019t become overwhelmed and burnt out.<\/p>\n
Create an ideal learning environment<\/b><\/p>\n
Though it is tempting to sit on the couch with a laptop, it is also easy to get distracted. Set up a dedicated workspace that will allow you to focus on your current task. If you miss the sounds of studying in a coffee shop while social distancing, there are several sound machine websites<\/a> that can provide the necessary background noise.<\/p>\n Make time for your mental health<\/b><\/p>\n Just because you\u2019re not in a classroom while getting work done, doesn\u2019t mean you need to work 24\/7. While you should focus on your projects, make sure to take time for your mental health. In between projects take a few minutes to go for a walk (away from others, of course), watch an episode of your favorite show, or just browse the internet while drinking a much-needed coffee.<\/p>\n Seek help if needed<\/b><\/p>\n
