Study Skills

How can I be successful learning and working at home?

Structure Your Day

  • Wake up and go to bed at the same time everyday.

  • Dedicate specific times for homework and studying outside of synchronous learning.

  • Consistently attend class virtually.

  • Your study routine should be structured and designed so you can learn at your own comfortable pace.

Eliminate Distractions

  • Have a designated (distraction free) work space where you keep your laptop, books and school work.

  • Put your phone on 'silent mode' or give it to someone in your household for safe keeping until you have free time.

  • Stay off social media until you are done with your work for the day.

Stay Connected & Organized

  • Lessen procrastination by planning ahead! Keep track of when all of your assignments are due using a calendar with important dates, like exams or deadlines for submitting your assignments.

  • Create to-do lists! At the start of each week, make a to-do list of the tasks you need to complete by the end of the week. This is an excellent way to prioritize your study plan and stay on track.

  • Don't isolate yoursself! Connect with your classmates as much as you can during and outside of class time.

Take Breaks When Needed

  • IT'S OK TO TAKE A BREAK!

  • Set a timer for 15-30 minutes so you know you have a definitive amount of time to relax.

  • Have a snack, go for a run, take a shower - whatever you need at the time!

Advocate for Yourself

  • Always reach out to your teachers, whether you have specific questions or if you are just feeling lost.

  • Let someone know if you are having technological issues! This could be your teacher, counselor or the Tech Department. The sooner this is addressed, the sooner you will be back on track!

Be Kind to Yourself

  • Accept that you will have productive and less productive days!

  • Have healthy snacks nearby to boost your energy.

  • Reward yourself every time you complete a challenging task.

  • Make sure that you take some time for yourself.

  • Stay positive! :)
