Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing well during quarantine and taking the proper precautions to keep themselves and their families safe! As we are all stuck at home it is very hard to stay organized and motivated to get this course work done so I felt it was important to put out a post with tips I have been using to keep myself motivated as well as organized.
The first step I took was to run to Walmart and grab a white board so that I had a space to write out what I needed to get done on a daily basis. If you don’t want to use a white board you could also use sticky notes, notebook paper, or an agenda. Staying organized is important to keeping yourself on track and making sure your getting the work done that needs to be done. It also gives a sense of structure which is important in times like these.
The second step I took was to gather all of the coursework that was to be completed during the semester from the syllabuses from my teachers and write it out in a notebook. This way everyday I can look at the dates of the work and write them out of my whiteboard as the weekly assignments. I also have iLearn setup to automatically email me a day before an assignment is due so just in case I missed something I can still have time to get it done.
By doing these two things I have been able to keep myself organized about what assignments need to be done and when. As a senior this is very important because I do not want to get behind and possibly fail a course.
