HOW TO MAKE ONLINE STUDY AT HOME MORE EFFECTIVE
By CA, CPA Vinod Kumar Agarwal
MAKE STUDYING AT HOME MORE EFFECTIVE
- Cooped up at home, for the last four months, students have been attending virtual classes at their homes.
- The students can’t interact with their classmates or teachers in the real world.
- They feel sad, worried and confused.
- For some, e-learning might be even tougher than being in class.
- But there are some ways to stay focused and make lockdown learning a better experience.
YOUR BED MAY SEEM COMFY, BUT IT’S NOT FOR STUDYING
- While you may be more inclined to study on your bed or the sofa, it’s not exactly a smart choice.
- Doing so can lead to bad posture and body ache.
- You might even fall asleep while you study on your bed!

PAY ATTENTION TO LIGHTING
- Make sure the spot you pick as your studying corner has plenty of natural lighting.
- If you are studying in the evening or night time, find a spot directly under the light or use a table lamp.
CHANGE UP YOUR SCHEDULE
- If you are used to studying early in the morning, then shift study time to right after lunch or late evening.
- You can instead catch some extra sleep in the morning or even use it for meditation or working out.
TAKE REGULAR BREAKS
- Instead of studying non-stop for hours, take some mini breaks.
- Make yourself a yummy snack, stretch, spend some time with your parents.
- If you have a pet, relax in their company.
- The point is to get away from the study space and refresh your mind.
HAVE MULTIPLE STUDY SPOTS
- Try to find more spots where you can study.
- This can be in your room, in one corner of the living room and if you have a big kitchen, you can use that, too!
- If you have a quiet rooftop or garden, when the weather allows, you can think about shifting your study time outdoors.
SET UP A STUDY SPACE
- Sitting on the right chair, having the table at a certain height etc., are also important.
- Make sure you keep your study spot clean and clutter- free.
- Too many things around you can either distract you or discourage you from spending time there.
- Instead, to make that spot feel more like a classroom, get a chair, a desk and even a little cupboard to store your study material.
All the Best !!!
