Managing your time well is easier said then done, and people often underestimate the level of time commitment online courses require. More flexibility doesn’t always equate to less time. I have provided some of my personal time management tips below. Over the course of my college career, google calendar has become my best friend and I have learned to love my to do list! These two organizational staples have become increasingly important as I have begun to add online learning to my course load.
