Five Tips for Remote Learning
Get ready for the day. Wash up and change out of the clothes you slept in, even if that means just switching sweatpants.
Have a dedicated workspace. Keep where you work and where you relax separate. Also make sure that it's a space you feel you can be productive in (i.e. not too cluttered, not too noisy, etc.)
Keep a planner to track deadlines. Deadlines can creep up on you, especially in quarantine when time seems to slip away, so keep a planner or some sort of organizational device (Google Calendar, bullet journal, etc.) to stay on top of it.
Use Google Calendar to keep track of zoom links. A lot of professors email the zoom link or put it in the syllabus and that can take time to find, time you don’t have when you have class in a minute. An easy solution is to put your class times into your Google Calendar and hyperlink the zoom link in the comments so you can instantly click and join your class.
Set aside time to catch up with friends and relax. In the remote format, it isn’t as easy to keep in touch with friends, so you need to make a conscious effort, such as setting up a weekly FaceTime. Similarly, you should make time in your schedule to destress and recharge from Zoom fatigue such as assigning yourself a fun craft project, finding a series to binge, or designating a spa night weekly.
