Let’s be honest, it’s pretty difficult to sit down and study while a global pandemic is going on.
Business schools have had to react promptly to the outbreak, finding ways to safely continue lectures and seminars and foster student collaboration virtually.
Video conferencing platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams have already helped educators shift to online teaching, but some students might be struggling to adjust to such sudden changes.
Whatever the circumstance it’s perfectly reasonable that you might be having trouble focusing, especially if you’re used to studying on campus.
For this reason, here at TopMBA we’ve put together a few tips that might help you keep your morale up and get plenty of work done from home.
Set up your home office
You’ve probably heard this before, but we thought it worth mentioning again: don’t study in bed. As comfortable as it might be, separating your work and rest spaces is key to be productive, especially while staying indoors to practice social distancing.
Make sure to create a study-friendly office space in your home where you can get work done undisturbed. Here are our best tips on lighting, set-up and equipment.
Plan your days
Now more than ever, it’s important to have a healthy work-life routine. Not only will this help you stay more focused on your studies, it’ll also give structure to your day and help you use time efficiently.
Set an early alarm every day during the regular work week as if you were going to campus and kick-start your day with a to-do list of work and household chores that you can tick off as you go. This will help you create a sense of normality and adjust more easily to the ongoing changes in your daily life.
