Start with just 1 class
Although you're probably tempted to choose with more than 1, start with 1 class and finish it before moving on.
The first class is the hardest because you need to learn how to learn online and also learn the material.

Establish a routine study schedule
Block out 2–3 hours Monday through Friday for classwork.
It’s not realistic to think that you can just put it off to the weekend because you may hit a block or be tired from working all week.

Turn off your distractors
Don’t check email. Don’t pick up your phone or text.
It’s so easy to spend an hour messaging or checking Instagram, so don’t even give yourself the opportunity to get distracted.

Get a kitchen timer
Tell yourself you will focus on it for 15 mins.
During the 15 mins, you’re so focused on working for 15 mins that you won’t get distracted; and after 15 mins you’ve made sufficient progress to be ‘in the zone.’

Watch lectures at 1.5x speed

Buy the book
A lot of times the lectures/handouts don’t explain something well.
It’s best to get a book to get a second explanation because there are no teachers or course assistants to ask.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
