1. wake up at the same time you would on a normal school day!
• making a routine and setting a time to wake up will make it easier to focus and work
• waking up early will give you plenty of time to get work done earlier
• making a routine might also help you feel better!

2. take notes the same way you would in class
• you can look back at them during tests or quizzes, or if you simply don't understand something
• just because nobody can see your notes doesn't mean they won't be useful

3. ask if you don't understand something!
• send emails, texts, call, ask during online classes; if you have a question, ASK IT! classes online can be confusing and your teacher will understand that, don't be shy!

4. put your phone/other electronics away
• act like the teacher is in the room with you; don't check your phone, silence it, don't let it distract you
• sometimes having a show/video playing in the background is nice, but it can get distracting; focus on class instead!

5. FOCUS!

6. try not to cheat on tests
• it can be really easy to cheat on tests and quizzes since there's nobody who can see you doing it, but when school starts again, you won't be able to do that; try not to cheat
( though if you do i can't blame you- )

7. take breaks
• give yourself breaks throughout the day! the benefit of online classes is that you can create your own schedule. if you wanna take a break for literally an HOUR, do it!
( make sure you're still getting work done, though )

8. don't stress

11. do your work in an environment with no distractions
• don't do it in bed, in the living room or kitchen, etc. because you'll definitely get distracted. try setting up a desk somewhere in a nice, clean room where you won't be able to get distracted by anything/anyone
