Are you an online student looking for time management tips<\/a> to help you better manage your schedule?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you find it difficult to manage your time<\/a> while going to class and studying? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any type of learning scenario presents its own series of time management challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, with a little bit of planning, you can learn how to successfully navigate your school time minutes and hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, you’ll find eight time management tips to help you better manage your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not in school? No problem!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of these tips can also be easily applied to situations in everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pay attention to MODULE lengthS.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve been watching a class that was supposed to be 45 minutes in length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been more than 45 minutes, what gives?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On further inspection, you may realize the module is actually 145 minutes long\u2026ouch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s worth double-checking the lengths of modules, classes, or sections before you begin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This way, you can appropriately adjust your schedule<\/a> as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you need less or more time to finish your session?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Log out of unnecessary programs and appS.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Treat your school time just like you would if you were physically sitting in a classroom or lecture hall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That means no distractions, no multitasking, and no doing anything else other than listening, watching, and taking notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more distracted you are, more time you\u2019ll spend trying to learn what was presented in class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to log off from\u00a0<\/span>any computer programs or applications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may also want to consider switching your cell phone<\/a> to silent, or turn it off completely so you can focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schedule courses into your calendar.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have a series of ongoing online classes? Be sure to enter these into your calendar or schedule so you know what to expect during the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While some online courses allow you take classes on your own time, you should make sure you’re taking classes on a regular basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of just randomly logging on, make a plan to sign in during specific days of the week, as well as specific hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll make a lot more headway in your classes and course work if you keep to a regular schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set aside time to review material.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Watching a course, seminar or lecture is one thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reviewing the material and understanding it is an entirely different thing! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to set aside time to review, process, practice, and understand material you\u2019ve learned in class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can schedule this time in chunks directly into your calendar.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where possible, choose chunks of time in which to study class information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, practice makes perfect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rotate your courses evenly.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might be tempted to spend more time viewing or watching one course than another\u2026you can go at your own pace after all, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have the ability to take multiple classes at the same time, be sure to rotate your courses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This approach will help you make equal headway in your online studies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could create a simple spread sheet, or color code your schedule to make sure you\u2019re on top of your courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t wait until the last-minute.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you wait until the last possible moment to do your studies? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like any type of work or study, it\u2019s best to start earlier, rather than later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll have more time to thoroughly learn material, practice exercises, and review<\/a> information should you so need it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You never know what new information or concepts might turn up in a lesson!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pay attention to the calendar.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you know when certain exercises, reports, homework, exams, and the like are due for your courses? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar to real-life classes, seminars, or lectures, it pays to keep an eye on the overall time during a semester. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you find it difficult to keep track of time in the digital world, try using a wall calendar or paper planner to help you better visualize the passage of time.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose class hours that work for your studies.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you get more out of your classes when you take them early in the morning, or do you retain more knowledge from a class taken late at night? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make the most of your time<\/a> by figuring out when you learn best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When do feel most alert, awake, and engaged during the day? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise, when you find you make the most when reviewing existing material? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer these questions, and you\u2019ll be sure to save yourself some valuable time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
