With school right around the corner, try practicing these study habits.
Put your phone aside.
Although it can be difficult to say goodbye to TikTok and hello to chemistry, hiding your phone from sight can help you stay engaged throughout class. Without the constant buzz of notifications in your hand, you can focus solely on the coursework being taught.
Create a tidy space.
Organization (as always) is key. By using the same area and keeping it clean throughout the day, it will be easier to focus on your screen and learn the content. Extra mess can be an easy source of distraction, so maintaining a neat space is crucial.
Keep a full water bottle nearby.
Avoid taking unnecessary trips to fill up a water bottle by keeping a full one close to your work station. Additionally, you won't ever feel thirsty during class!
Use a planner.
Planners help greatly with organization and memorization. Write down homework, due dates, and upcoming tests in order to stay engaged. If you cannot remember exactly what work was assigned, simply check your planner.
Charge your devices prior to class.
Don't worry about receiving a notification that your device has low power. Charging your device before class prevents you from having to stop your work to plug it in.
Try to limit excess time spent on electronics.
With several virtual classes each day, it can feel difficult to sit in front of a screen for such an extended period of time. To stay more engaged during the class period and avoid feeling drowsy, use electronics less throughout the day.
Sleep.
As always, it is crucial that you rest well each night. Being awake and alert will help you better absorb the information given through virtual classes.
