Remember, No One’s Perfect

While you’re pursuing your online degree, remember that perfection is not necessary. If you’re one of those students who is juggling more than a handful of responsibilities and let’s say forgets one of your deadlines or decides to blow off your nightly chapter reading. Don’t beat yourself up with guilt in the morning! Give yourself a break. Not that you’d what to make a habit of missing assignments and shirking your homework, but if you put too much pressure on yourself about your stumbles along the way,  you’ll surely burn out and possibly not finish your online learning journey.

To limit the number of mental roadblocks, try switching up your study routine so that it’s fresh and new again. Maybe take a semester off from the heavy stuff and take one of your elective earlier than you planned, or partner-up for your next class. Examine your situation and determine at least one thing that you can modify (even if it’s temporary) in order for you to consistently maintain your sanity. You may need a tune-up every few weeks, so be sure to stay mindful of when you’re feeling overloaded.
