ENDICOTT ATHLETICS WELLNESS HUB
BEVERLY, Mass. – Now that our student-athletes have navigated online learning for a few weeks, we asked them to share their best tips on what makes them effective at home. Here's the advice our student-athletes had to offer up. Hopefully, in one way or another, it helps someone reading this and/or reinforces some good habits for our Gulls to keep using as they head into finals shortly. As always, everyone at Endicott is here if you need us.
ONLINE LEARNING TIPS & TRICKS
- Focus on one subject each day and/or focus your work in three-hour blocks
- Put breaks into your schedule to give yourself a breather mentally and physically
- Reward yourself during your breaks
- Turn off your phone during the day and/or leave it in another room during class to avoid distractions
- Plan your week in advance/create an agenda to lock in time for homework around your Zoom classes
- Make your agenda as detailed as possible to keep track of due dates for assignments
- Take time at night to connect with family and friends
- Dedicate certain spaces around your house that are just for schoolwork and classes which are separate from your bedroom to help you feel more productive and energized
- If possible, set up a home office where you can close the door and be away from all the noise that might happen around your home
- When applicable, change up your workspace from time-to-time from one spot in the house to another to mix it up and not get bored as easily
- Be cognizant about the amount of time you are spending on social media
