Online Learning requires time management. Here are some tips from Northeastern University:
1. Plan Ahead - use a calendar and reminders
2. Don't Multi-task - focus on one assignment at a time
3. Set up your Work Space - make sure you have all the required materials and set up as much as you can ahead of time
4. Block out Distractions - find a quiet space and consider using timers
5. Reward Yourself
6. Get a Good Night's Sleep
