How To Focus During Online School

Focusing whilst being at home is a difficult task for most people. It’s much easier to get distracted at home surrounded by a range of different things, compared to when you’re at school in a learning environment. Some tactics to focus during your Zoom classes include:

- Sleep for a sufficient amount of time (staying awake in class is crucial, you don’t want to miss

out on anything important).

- Position yourself as if you are at school. Many people have already gotten used to being

relaxed at home. When attending your zoom call, sit up properly at your desk.

- Try to sit away from areas that you’re prone to sleep in (eg: your bed, a sofa, a beanbag, etc.)

- Put your phone away to not get distracted or tempted to do things not related to schoolwork.

If you wish to have your phone near you, set up a screen time to limit phone usage.

- Set up a reminder to remind you to focus in class.

- Try your best to find some place quiet to listen and learn.
