This “Study from Home” model is likely to become the new normal for the next few weeks to come. In this scenario, students may have lots of concerns about the effectiveness of studying in a distance mode and how to ace their studies.

Lockdown Tips | Study from home during Coronavirus

Before we start talking about how to increase our productivity and maximize output while studying from home, here are a few short tips:

Pick a study spot in your house that would be your study place. A decluttered space leads to a decluttered mind. It also helps in organizing your studies and increasing your productivity. There is nothing better than studying from your favorite corner or area in your house. The positivity gained is reflected in your overall performance.

There is nothing better than studying from your favorite corner or area in your house. The positivity gained is reflected in your overall performance. Set Realistic Goals and be true to yourself. If you are facing issues in completing your task, inform your teacher in charge. This is the best thing that you can do for achieving your goals. But be very vigilant while choosing your goals. Take up only that quantity which you know you will be able to do in the given time period as a part of study from home.

Start your day early and sit in a place where there is minimum noise so that your concentration is not hampered. Focus is the key, be it study from home or office work. Once your concentration is made up nothing matters.

Do not forget to take small breaks in between otherwise, you would exhaust very fast while studying from home. Breaks are a very important aspect of studying from home, even if you are writing you need to go on a small break to replenish your creativity. So, what you can do is, instead of using social media put on music of your choice, groove to it or resort to the fun activity of your choice like a bit of cooking.

Do not eat greasy food items like rice, pizza, or too much oily food as it would make you feel drowsy. Understandably, your stomach would crave fast food, crispy fries, and burger, yet you need to console yourself. Adding more fiber, carbs to your diet and snacks could be healthy for your study from home schedule. Replace your burgers with fruits or nuts and you are good to go!

We will now see some of the study tips that will be really helpful for the students who have their boards exams/ other exams pending and add to their study from home strategy:

Study from home involves time management

The most important thing that should be kept in mind is that the exams are postponed and not canceled. So, do not go gaga over this and don’t assume it to be a vacation. It’s just you have got a lucky escape from the exam and you should be prepared to appear for them. Utilize this time and make it productive, use it wisely to study from home so that you are benefited at the end. Stress more on the weaker subject

Every student has a weak and strong subject. Therefore, it is good that you got this extra time. So, what can be done? Simple, just try to stress more on your weak subjects and areas of study. Studying from home is an opportunity to convert your weakness into a strength if you are really bad in some of the topics. Give more time to Revision

In my opinion, revision is the key which when used wisely can open any lock. Revision is like that sword without which a student can never win the exam war. So, you can utilize this golden ‘study from home’ time to revise and freshen up the concepts, formulas that have faded with time. Don’t indulge in distracting activities while studying from home

For many students, quarantine time has become a never-ending vacation. Therefore, they stop studying from home and indulge in video games, TikTok and meme sharing. This time should be used wisely, and the time should be allocated to everything equally. Using social media, watching TV and other activities are equally important but it should not be at the expense of studies. Read some new books, try to find out about new inventions and ideas developed around the world. This could be a time for you to develop a new skill as well, like learning a language via online channels. Motivate yourself with good thoughts

Good thoughts are the happy meal for your brain and your soul. Cheer yourself and your family, as these are times of chaos. Therefore, watch a movie with your family, play games like UNO, ludo, antakshari and many more. You can also catch up with everyone, via video calls. These small things would make a large difference for you and others as well. It will have a very soothing and calming effect on your overall mental health while you study or work from home.

Advantages of Study from Home

Study from Home is a dream for many students who might want to change their daily traditional format of studying. Therefore, Coronavirus has really brought some relief for all those who were awaiting a long pending vacation. Let’s have a glimpse on what are the advantages of study and work from home scenarios.

Eco friendly

The best thing about study and work from home is that it is Eco Friendly. It helps in saving the energy and fuel that you might be using to reach your school, coaching centers or job. This also breaks the pollution that used to occur due to various vehicles. In a way, we can say that this situation is a boon for our climate and nature. Classes on a go!

Class from home means you are in your home i.e your comfort zone. You are not entitled to sit in a fixed space, any favorite corner or area of your house can be your classroom. Isn’t it cool that you are studying in your own comfort zone? Enhanced Creativity

You can take up online courses, install educational apps, and language apps to enhance your abilities and capabilities as part of study from home. This is the time to learn something new and catch up on the new trends. More Family Time

Like I said before, this is the right time to spend quality time with your family while working or studying at home. This is surely a profitable deal for both parties. You can catch up on what is new in their lives while they get to know about yours, you could also take this as the time to teach them new things like playing a video game or how to make a TikTok video. Revisiting Syllabus

With the lockdown, may classes and exams have been postponed or canceled. This does not mean that they would not be returning anytime soon. You should look at those exams as a benchmark that needs to be complete with utmost dedication. Study well and dedicate some amount of time for that exam preparation. Work on your week points and practice previous year question papers. Do Video conferencing with your friends and discuss key points that need to be emphasized.

Online Courses as a part of Study from Home Schedule

How about learning something while being at home, alone? There are numerous higher education courses that can be pursued online from your home. So, we have prepared a list of the courses that are available online and can be a part of your study from home schedule. College students who are having their online classes, or are planning towards higher education can also take a look at these courses:

Students who are in school and were in the middle of their board exams have a variety of options to look into:

Students in their 12th standard can take this time as an opportunity to look into colleges they can apply for, their eligibility, criteria, and selection process. Using these pieces of information they can practice and prepare for the entrance exams.

These 12th standard students can also join online internships and courses in order to gain experiences that would give them an edge over others, as their CV would be more impressive in comparison to others.

Students of 10th and 11th standard can also utilize this time to the fullest by learning languages through online apps, or reading their favorite novels.

Students of all age groups can also look at online educational apps to learn something new.

How you utilize this time of lockdown can make a huge difference in the future. If you use it efficiently, your CV would speak for you. Also, I will tell you a little secret, when you would go for an interview in the future and say “ Oh during the lockdown in 2020 I learned a language online or I studied for animation course online” it will showcase your disciplined behavior towards your studies.
