Sticking to a Schedule- Online Classes
Realistically, sticking to a schedule is hard. It is extremely easy to jot down a bunch of things you have to do on a calendar but when the time comes to actually accomplish those tasks, it becomes unbearable, especially when it comes to online classes. For me personally, sticking to a schedule in order to devote the time necessary to complete the required work I have to do is not a challenging task. A few years ago I thought it would be impossible to stick to a schedule, but then I discovered discipline. Online courses are self-motivated and you have to have extreme self-discipline in order to stay on top of work. For me, I made the commitment to taking an online course so I will do whatever it takes to accomplish that. I flipped a switch in my head so there is no turning back for me. One way I ensure myself that I stay on top of my work load is to complete assignments right when I get them. You may seem tired and want to go home in sleep but by completing assignments right away, you do not have to wait until the last minute or forget to do something. Also, time blocking my schedule has been extremely beneficial for me. I plan out every hour of my day so I know exactly what I am doing. This also helps me from getting burned out because I have certain times I work on certain subjects so I have breaks in my schedule by doing something else. Overall, sticking to a schedule to ensure you complete all of your work took me a while to master but I feel confident in doing so now.
