Stay organized –
Tips
Emails - Organize
them. Have different folders for different
courses. You get a lot of communication
from WGU, Course Mentors, and your Mentor.
Have places to put these messages and let your INBOX be your to-do list.
Every course should have its own folder and any communication regarding that
course belongs in that folder.
Websites- Create a
Favorites folder for WGU courses. Make
subfolders for the websites and online resources you may need for each course,
and label those folders with the corresponding course codes or names. Just like your emails, every course should have
its own folder and any online resource regarding that course belongs in that
folder.
Online Distractions –
Make the WGU portal or Google your home page.
I don’t care what search engine you prefer, but google has very few
distractions on it. If you don’t want to
make a permanent change in search engines, make a shortcut to google or the WGU
portal on your desktop, that way when you start your studying for the day, you
won’t be tempted to read the latest news story, see personal emails pop up, get
lost in youtube, or try to access social networking sites…. When you are in
study mode, make it about studying. Simply changing your starting point to
accessing our study material removes big distractions that easily take away
from the time we could be studying. Take easy steps to avoid online
distractions
