Windward Review

1. Find your professor’s new syllabus/course schedule
• Good! Now write those new due dates down!
2. A lot of professors moved things around on Blackboard, so become
re-familiar with their layout for the class
• Where are your assignments? (ie. are they under Course Content
or somewhere else?)
3. Repeat this (1. & 2.) with all your classes
4. Once you have all the dates down, look at what is due soon and see if
you can do it!
5. Find a spot inside or outside of your house and make it your
designated work space (if you want to be fancy, call it a home office!)
6. DO NOT WORK ON YOUR BED IF YOU CAN HELP IT
• Your body associates your bed with sleep, so if you try studying
there, you might doze off or your body might start associating the
bed with studying instead of sleep – as my body has started doing.
• This also might transfer to your couch if you nap on it
• If there is no other place, try to make a section of your bed the
study space – preferably away from pillows
• Some people say not to study in your room because the entire
space might be associated with relaxation instead of productivity,
but that doesn’t work for me in my house, and it might not work
for you in your space.
7. Try to stick with the daily routine you had before all this mess if you can
• If not, create a new one that is structured
• Take breaks, go outside for some fresh air
