Pros and cons of studying online (from the perspective of a disorganized student)


So...  the semester is almost over and 
I thought it would be a good idea to share my experience with 
this whole shift to online lessons.

PROS
CONS
More time ...to sleep
A messed up schedule
Not needing to transport 
Thinking I have more time than what I actually have
Doing homework in my bed
Falling asleep and not finishing it early
Food is ready to prepare and serve
The need for constantly visiting the fridge
Opportunities to do other activities
Getting too distracted
Time to think
Time to think

HOW DO I FIGHT THE CONS?
1) Doing all that's possible in order to have a schedule and respect it 
(as it can be clearly seen, I don't always succeed in this aspect)

2) Being more active during the day helps me sleep better at night, also putting
 the phone away before going to bed works.

3) Breathing exercises and rest periods in order to reduce eating out
of stress.  (It helps setting an alarm so that these
 periods are reasonable, I'm still working on this)

4)Some thoughts are not useful for the moment, instead of getting 
distracted with them you can write them down and revisit 
them later (still not an expert in this or any of the above but hopefully 
you can be more consistent and find this useful )

  1. I can relate to all of this, especially the parts of getting too distracted and having a messed up schedule; however, as you mention, I think the key is to stay active and be as organized as possible with your tasks. Glad to know you are being proactive about it too.
