Online college classes in high school sound great at first: you don’t have to drive anywhere, you have a whole week to choose when to do assignments, and you can learn from the comfort of your home. But suddenly, midnight nears on a Sunday while your assignments remain unfinished, and panic sets in.
The flexibility of an online course can make it easy to delay work, as no one stands in front of you to remind you to get it done. The good news: with a few helpful time management tips, you can make online classes much less stressful.
Online classes can be easy if you treat them like actual school, stay organized, and minimize distractions while working on assignments. Treating online classes like you would a school day, like creating structure, putting your cell phone away, and drafting daily calendars, can prevent you from having seven assignments to do at the last minute. Completing these small steps daily can help you stay motivated and confident in your work.
Online classes give you freedom, but take that freedom with responsibility. Manage your time well, and you’ll stay on top of your work while having time for your hobbies.
