Ultimate Guide: How to Ace Every Class This Semester
School is very challenging, especially with all learning being online due to the pandemic! Here are some tips and tricks that I use to stay motivated, organized, and ace all of my online courses:
Keep a planner of all of your upcoming events, assignments, appointments, etc,. Life gets crazy and overwhelming and keeping a planner will help you remember what is due every day.
Color code! When copying all of my assignments and exams for my courses into my planner, I color-code each class. This makes it easier to know right away what class you have work due.
Make daily checklists of all of the goals and tasks you need to complete daily. Every time I check a task off my list it feels so rewarding!
Set your own deadlines. For example, if you have an assignment due on Friday, set your own personal deadline for that Wednesday. This will give you wiggle room to complete the assignment in case you have an emergency and helps space out your assignments and not have to rush.
ROUTINE! ROUTINE! ROUTINE! Making a routine to follow every morning is so crucial to having an extra successful day. All routines are different but my personal routine includes: waking up, making a cup of coffee, looking over my planner, and making a daily checklist for the day.
Reward yourself! Staying motivated can be hard but giving yourself little incentives can help get the job done! Incentives can be: treating yourself to dinner out, hanging out with friends, doing a fun activity you enjoy, or giving yourself a half-hour to scroll through TikTok or go on your phone after you complete an assignment.
