Establish a functional workspace & Limit Distractions

Sometimes creating a workspace can help you get into a working or productive mindset. Remote learning can be challenging for many reasons but having an organized workplace shouldn’t be. Designate an area in your house, apartment or room to accomplish your school work. Ideally, this space should be away from distractions. However, everyone’s ideal workspace will look different.

Create a Schedule and Stick to a Routine

Healthy routines can help reduce anxiety, stress and depression. Additionally, routines may help increase focus and concentration, which leads to productivity and success.

Take Breaks When Needed & Set Goals 

It’s important to give your brain a rest now and then, it could help you process information better. Breaks also provide an opportunity to distract yourself from stressors and helps prevent burnout. Taking effective breaks will allow you to feel more energized and help maintain your concentration.
