How to plan for online classes! 🌸🫶
Have you taken an online class? Was it hard or easy? How did you manage or how would you now?
Your mental health is so important even when doing it online! Sometimes it can be stressful online if you fall behind so jump on it early while it’s the beginning of the semester!
📚PLAN! I cannot stress this enough… make your schedule in a visual so you can ACTUALLY SEE your open space. This can help reduce your stress of when you can get things done (we are all busy I get it! But you got this!). I found it helpful to create it through Canva and put it as my computer screensaver. I DONT HAVE A SUBSCRIPTION TO CANVA! You can do this FOR FREE 👏👏. Don’t wait until last minute or else it WILL make things worse (trust me… I’ve been there I get it).
📚burnout prevention: remember to do things you love. This can be a 5 minute walk outside for a break, a dance break, singing your favorite songs, treating yourself to coffee, etc. NOTHING IS TOO SMALL! Sometimes the small things can be what we need and it doesn’t have to be expensive or take very long! Remember to take care of yourself first and foremost ❤️🫶
📚keep a notebook: this can be physical or digital… but keep a notebook of IMPORTANT things so you have something to refer to if you forgot
📚minimize distractions: this may mean putting your phone on DND, being in a room with no one else, putting in headphones for music, leaving your phone in your bag, etc. one size does NOT fit all
📚create a learning setup: this can be at a coffee shop, your bed, your desk, in a learning hub at school, wherever! Just make sure you have the materials you need and can get things done. THIS LOOKS DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE!
📚remember to eat and drink: sometimes we get so in the zone that we forget our daily essentials like food and water! Allow yourself some time to take breaks when needed.. you aren’t a super hero (even tho it would be pretty cool). Your mind and body work better when you are properly nourished! Half your body weight is recommended in fluid oz. Make sure you get it in!

With the rise of remote learning, managing online classes can be challenging yet rewarding. One key strategy is to develop a comprehensive schedule that highlights your open time slots for study and personal life. Use tools like Canva to visualize your planning - this is a free resource that can help you stay organized! It’s also crucial to address burnout; integrate small but meaningful breaks into your routine. Activities such as quick walks or enjoying your favorite song can rejuvenate your mind and boost your productivity. Remember, taking care of your mental health should always come first! Additionally, establish a dedicated learning environment free from distractions. This might mean setting your phone to Do Not Disturb or finding a quiet space in your home. Your study area should be equipped with all necessary materials to facilitate focus. Lastly, never neglect your basic needs—ensure you stay hydrated and nourished, as these elements significantly impact your overall performance. Incorporating these practices into your study routine can make online classes more manageable and enjoyable.
