First things first, it’s not my first time doing online learning. My high school didn’t have AP maths as a subject and traveling for one subject seemed strenuous.
I’m not an expert https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙅🏾♀️" title="Woman gesturing not ok (medium dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman gesturing not ok (medium dark skin tone)"> however, I do have experience that I’d love to share and hopefully get more advice from people who have had their own experiences.
1. Inform your parents/guardians of the situation. This is the time to have that difficult talk with your parents. Let them know that house chores and school work are not on the same level. Not to say the one is more important than the other, however
There will be times where you’ll have to choose your school work over chores. The key here is to make them understand that you’re not only their daughter/son, you’re also a student.
2. Create a morning routine.
Even though you are working in the comfort of your own home, creating a morning routine as you would if you were off to campus is significant. Wake up at the same time every morning and get yourself "prepared" for the day.

3. Establish a designated workspace.
Ideally, a desk or table, I don’t about you but working on my bed is impossible. Make it your own: Get some stationery and desk accessories so you’re fully equipped with everything you need to stay inspired, focused and on top of your game.

4. Schedule breaks and actually take them.
The worst thing you could do is spend 8+ hours straight in front of a screen. Make sure you’re taking breaks often, even 15 minutes here and there amidst an actual “lunch” hour. This is where you could fit in a few house chores.

5. Go outside.
Not out your home!! A brief 10 minute walk in the yard to catch some vitamin D and fresh air will boost your mood and energy levels. If you’re brave enough, you can consider a workout session.

6. FaceTime/video call your friends.
Just because you aren’t on campus doesn’t mean you can’t catch up with your friends. Maintaining an open line communication with people you spent most of your time with is crucial. Just to get your off of work for an hour or 2.

7. Procrastination will always be an option.
“No one is here. One YouTube video won’t do any harm”. Trust me, it will. Procrastination will be at its peak around these times, but so will your drive to get through this semester.

8. Regulate your sleeping pattern.
This is where I fall short all the time. Lately I’ve been getting 6-7 hours of sleep. In my opinion, I perform so much better during the day if I had 8-9 hours of sleep. Put. Your. Phone. Away. Before. Bed.

That’s all from me https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Red heart" aria-label="Emoji: Red heart"> I really hope this helps someone out there. I know it’s difficult to adjust, but the quicker we familiarize ourselves with these schedules the better.
