Since I\u2019m taking summer school for the first time and it\u2019s completely online, I thought I would share my experience with you all in this post \ud83d\ude42\r\n\r\nRegular Schedule: <\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAll of my online classes are recorded, which means I can watch them at any time. At first, I tried watching multiple lectures in one sitting, but was completely exhausted at the end of it. I find that spacing the lectures out and watching the recordings at a scheduled time works best for me and has really helped me stay focused, while not falling behind. It doesn\u2019t have to be the scheduled class time, as long as it\u2019s consistent.\r\n\r\nFollowing a regular schedule also helps me arrange my time for assignments, meetings, and study breaks while making sure everything gets done!\r\n\r\n

My typical to-do list for the day!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nStudy space with minimal distractions: <\/strong>\r\n\r\nHaving a quiet study space is key. I used to study in my living room, but since my entire family\u2019s at home now, I study in my bedroom where it\u2019s quieter. There\u2019s a lot of natural sunlight in my room which is also really important for me. Plus, it\u2019s nice and quiet!\r\n\r\nI find that there can be a lot of distractions at home, so if I\u2019m attending a lecture or tutorial, I let everyone in my house know I\u2019m in class, so they\u2019ll be more mindful of the noise. I also leave my phone in another room because even though my professor can\u2019t see me, I still avoid checking my phone because it\u2019s rude and of course, I want to stay focused.\r\n\r\nAlso, on nicer days, I like to study in my backyard to soak up some sun and get energized while still following the social distancing guidelines.\r\n\r\n

I find that chatting about my work and asking questions are super helpful. Plus, it\u2019s always nice to see some faces \ud83d\ude42\r\n\r\nWhether you\u2019re taking summer school or just chilling at home, I hope you are all having a great summer and are staying safe! \ud83d\ude42","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
