How to attend an online class and not die trying

During the 21st century, online classes have been popular among young people, especially
when the pandemic caused by covid-19 occurred, many people had to abruptly adapt to
online classes, but as we already know, that is not very easy. Many people find it hard to
stay focused because there are so many things around them that they are easily distracted.
To attend an online class, you need your computer, a good internet connection, and to you.
Next, there will be a series of steps that you must follow if you want to have a successful
online class and not die trying.

1. First of all, find a comfortable place for your online classes. It is all-important that
the physical environment where you have your online class is silent, or you could
easily get distracted. The place you choose has to be a comfortable place for you,
and it should be peaceful, where you know that no one will interrupt you. Don't opt
for a bed or armchairs, this can make you sleepy, and we don't want you to fall
asleep in your class.
2. Second, try to create a routine for when you go to have your online class. To start
your day, get up early as you would if your class was face-to-face, so don’t let sleep
win you! After that, start to get dressed, and get ready as if you have to turn on your
computer camera. We don't want anyone to see you in your pajamas. And finally,
you need to have breakfast. This is the most important meal of the day and it will
help you have more energy.
3. And finally, improve your concentration; this is the most important step of all. Try
to put aside all those things that you know will distract you, such as your cell phone,
television, etc., and since you are with your preferred browser open, close all the
tabs that can distract you, only use the necessary ones for your online class. It is also
important that if you get to lose your concentration for a moment, you ask your
teacher those things in which you have doubts.

Once you have carried out all the steps already mentioned correctly you will have your
online class successfully, but it is also important that you do your part so that everything
goes well. Always focus on your goals and your dreams; and always remember that all this
effort you will make will be so that you have the future you want.

Thank you all for listening today.
