Like most students, you are probably working online and struggling to find ways to better manage your time this semester. Even the simplest tasks can seem daunting. Although there is nothing going on outside the house, if you’re like me, the inside is full of chaos. From chatting to bickering, with friends and family there is no shortage of distractions. But, relax! There is hope. Whether this is your first or your final year of university, here are 5 tips to help you knock out your assignments amid all this noise:
1. Create Your Own Workspace
Set up a workspace for yourself where you can keep your materials out and have privacy. Ideally, a room with good lighting and a door works well.
2. Make a Schedule
Create a schedule with flexible time slots so you can collaborate electronically with peers on group assignments, and for your own work.
3. Exercise!
Make time for exercise. Even without a gym, there’s no reason to be sedentary! It is important to maintain our exercise for our health.
4. Get Some Fresh Air
Go outside daily - at a safe distance, of course. Fresh air generates fresh ideas and can help you relax.
5. Maintain Your Health
Eat healthily and get enough sleep. YouTube and Netflix will still be there in the morning.
It may feel like you’re losing your grip on life - everything has been flipped upside down and nothing is for certain. But, you’ll always have the power to be productive and make the most of these uncertain times. I wish you and your family well and all the best grinding out those final assignments!
