Keys to Motivation for Online Learning (Module 7)

Well, we’re finally done. I’ve learned a lot of important things from this course that I will continue to carry out during the rest of my time in college and even in the workforce. This module gave me even more to remember on top of everything else: how to find and maintain motivation with online work. The most important thing I learned from this was a quote from sociologist Christine Carter that said “on average, interruptions take 23 minutes and 15 seconds to recover from-even if that distraction is only a minute!” That’s something very interesting that I never knew and I will keep in mind whenever I get distracted to limit that time. Something that I have already put into practice from this module is listening to relaxing music while doing work, and it definitely works for me. I usually listen to movie/game soundtracks or classical music because they don’t have words and it’s easier to completely focus. One thing that I’m going to put into practice is stop having the TV on when I’m doing work. I do it just to have noise in the back but I could just use music. This was a fun and informative class and I wish everyone who reads this success. It’s a hard time right now, but we’ll all get through this!
