Beat Procrastination in Online Courses: 3 Easy Tips
A publication of the VirtualSC Student Advisory Board
Students from around the world struggle with procrastination. It is often easier to delay tasks than to dive in and get them done. For some, it is not just a habit but a challenge they do not know how to overcome.
At VirtualSC, we are committed to helping our students develop strong time-management skills and overcome procrastination. Here are three effective tips to help you stay on track:
1. Use a Weekly Planner
Organize your week by writing down all course deadlines and tasks. Mapping out your schedule strategically can help you stay ahead and reduce last-minute stress.
2. Set Daily Work Goals
Aim to complete a consistent amount of work each day. This helps prevent assignments from piling up and keeps your workload manageable.
3. Avoid Multitasking
It is tempting to watch videos or scroll through social media while studying, but multitasking can slow you down. Focus fully on your work so you can complete it more efficiently and retain more information.
By applying these strategies, you can take control of your time and become a more efficient, productive learner.
