My tips for online college 🎓
I just started school again and it’s ALL ONLINE!!! Sooo… I thought I’d share a few things that have kept me going thus far in the year:
Pomodoro Timers 🕒
I started using this method for longer study sessions. I usually use the 30/10 timers but you can find a variety on YouTube. Some have music, sounds of nature, and some have a body doubling experience to them. The study with me videos. These have helped tremendously with my productivity! I also really take advantage of the breaks by doing small workouts/stretches or a social media scroll - without the doom!
Blue Light Glasses 👓
Wearing a pair of blue light glasses is essential to my life as an online student because I spend countless hours at my desk or on my devices for assignments. These have made a huge impact on how long I’m able to do assignments without eye strain or headaches.
Morning☀️Evening🌘 Motivation
Knowing if you an Early Worm or Night Owl — Use that to act on when your motivation levels are at their highest. I’m a morning person! I love being awake when the birds are at it and the sun is saying hello! So I plan my TO DO List around my morning routine because I know that’s when I feel the most motivated.
Daily Desk Pad 📝
Kind of follows the tip above. Having a simple or very detailed (best for us Nero spicy brains out there!) TO DO List of your tasks for the next day in a visible spot you’ll see first thing when you get up! Planning it out the night before
so you don’t stress over what you’re supposed to get done — instead focus on how or when!

In the world of online education, managing your time and environment is crucial to student success. One effective strategy is the Pomodoro Technique, which allows for focused work periods followed by short breaks. This method improves concentration and helps combat burnout by allowing you to refresh after intense study sessions. Additionally, incorporating physical activity during breaks can keep energy levels high and contribute to overall well-being. Blue light glasses have become essential for online learners, helping to reduce eye strain caused by prolonged screen time. By wearing these glasses, you can work on your assignments without discomfort, thereby extending study hours and improving productivity. Understanding your personal productivity patterns—whether you are an early riser or a night owl—can significantly influence your study habits. Early birds might tackle challenging tasks in the morning when their energy is highest, while night owls may find their peak performance during evening hours. Aligning tasks with your natural rhythms can enhance efficiency. Consider implementing a daily desk pad to keep your tasks visible and organized. By preparing to-do lists the night before, you can avoid morning stress and start your day with clarity and purpose. This practice can lead to greater focus and achievement in your college journey.
