Whether your school is currently using distance learning due to the pandemic or you are worried that things may go virtual if there is a resurgence, it is essential to think about how you will deal with distance learning. Let’s consider three vital skills that you should cultivate that will help you even in class, but especially if your schooling is taking place remotely.
- Focus – Most people have trouble focusing nowadays, and students are not immune. The main problem is multitasking. Humans simply can’t do it. Figure out what is messing with your focus and kick the habit. For most of us, constant alerts from our devices are to blame. During school hours or studying, it is a good idea to set all of your devices to Do Not Disturb mode so that nothing pops up while you are doing your schoolwork.
- Discipline – If you have the bad habit of procrastination, now is the time to get tough with yourself. Late-night cram sessions, last-minute essay typing, and showing up five minutes late to every class is no way to go through school. You’ll thank yourself for figuring this out now before you’re in the workplace.
- Organization – Organization skills save you valuable time. When you can find your school supplies, the link to login to your class, or outfit for the day without a lengthy search, you can use all of that time for things that really matter.
