Greetings and salutations dear Reader.
On these times of social distancing, work from home and online studies it can get extra difficult to kep our spirits high and our motivation running. Here I offer you a list of tips I hope can help you better handle the difficult situation we are finding ourselves with.

First I want to make it very clear that this is nothing but a compilation of tips I gathered from the internet and that I didn’t came up with any of these. But I can vouch for the effectiveness of most of them from personal experience.

A) have a dedicated space for studying, a place where you as a student do nothing else during the day (if possible). If it’s not possible, set up a "cleansing ritual" before and after you study to "create" a liminal space where it’s easier to focus (that ritual can be whatever you want, burn incense and pray; have a fold up table and set it up to start and later remove it to finish; you can even have a song to signal the start and a different song to signal the end, line the opening and ending themes of a show)

B) have a dedicated time slot for studying/working and homework so you can build up a routine.

C) use a calendar and a to do list to keep track of deadlines and to organize your work load. if somthng is left undone or incomplete from one day don't move it to the next day. these are better handled by having one or 2 days on the week dedicated to catching up. Don't pushed ahead in time the things you have to do tomorrow , what needs to be done tomorrow is still the focus of tomorrow and what was left undone from today will have a chance at a pre-planned moment of the week.

D) exercise between 4 to 6 days a week, between 20 and 45 minutes a day

E) keep up self-care and hygiene routines, and dress up for your online classes as if they were in person

F) use a system of folders and subfolders on your PC to organize your digital material, something like course->subjects->notes and books

G) move around your environment during the day, don't have an "all-room". If you can pair this movement with your routine all the better. everything you do in your routine, try to do it in a different room over the day

H) have a "virtual study group" where you all work silently (so as not to distract anyone, but if you have any doubts you have immediate access to others for help.
