Time Management While Distance Learning

Over the course of time I have had this blog, I have learned new ways to be productive, and I hope my suggestions and findings have been helpful for those that have tried them. From trying various ways of staying motivated and organized to finding new ways to be motivated and stay on track (though I have definitely struggled). One thing I have to say and remind others that feel like they are not doing as best as they think they should be - it's okay to mess up. Let me tell you about the ways I have become inspired and motivated during these tough times. 

Staying Productive in Quarantine: Products and Suggestions Words cannot describe the number of times I have wanted to study and do my work in a coffee shop or in my university's library just for a change of scenery. Working from home in my room at my desk for the last year has been far from ideal, and I have tried my best to make it comfortable and designated for work so that my room that once was only meant for relaxation and sleep. Because I miss the comradery of working with other students and around other people, I have made some more changes to encourage myself to feel motivated and productive while working from home. What Have I Done to Boost Productivity? I have struggled to stay motivated working from home.

We know that stress is a normal part of life and it definitely can be expected given the current state of the world. It is not surprising that we may feel now that our productivity has diminished or our ability to focus has suffered due to the pandemic and all of the hardships it has presented. One thing that I want to address though is how different kinds of stress could also be the reason for the things we are feeling. I will begin by saying that I am not giving anyone medical advice and I am in no way a medical professional. I can only give advice from what I know.  Another quite common kind of stress we may experience in our lives is traumatic stress. This is the kind of stress that can happen after a traumatic event, like a death or an accident. This kind of stress is more intense than regular/routine stress. The last kind of stress you may experience is long-term stress, whic...

  Covid Changed The Way I Work I thought I had my school routine all figured out when I started my Spring 2020 Semester. I had my school planner and my work planner all set up, my google calendar with my class times and work schedule all synced with my devices, and I had my routine altogether and it worked well for me. I knew when I needed to leave my house for class and about how long it would take me to drive to work from campus and I knew about what time I would be home each day to begin my homework. Since covid happened, I have had to change the way that I learn and the ways I keep a productive school schedule.
