It’s important to set healthy boundaries around your school time. Block off a time frame for your textbook reading, a time to listen to lectures, and a time to write assignments for each class and stick to it. Tell your family members, “I’m going to class,” and get in the zone. Pretend like you are actually in class, and prioritize that time.
After your time slot is secure, choose a space for your studies. Perhaps you already have an office space in your home–now is your time to actually use it! (Be honest, it gets less use than you originally expected. But that’s ok! Move the stacks of paper–it’s the office’s time to shine!) And maybe you don’t have an office. Find a corner in your basement where you can focus, and claim it!
Dedicating boundaries with your space and time will tremendously help you maximize your online education.
