I agree procrastination is something that myself and many others can change, but trust me once it starts it becomes very difficult to change. Learning at school is always the best option (except when its freezing cold), but once I learn how to use online tools well that could be a big help. So far I am already behind in school work AND HOLIDAY BARELY STARTED. I cannot wait until term 2 and see improvements in terms of my study habits. So far thousands across the state are procrastinating.

JR_StudyEd:
I do have some additional concerns (that may apply to some other students too): All the discipline and planning in the world probably isn't going to lead to me getting much uni work done at home because a) I haven't really experienced an online education before and b) I don't have a dedicated study room/space/area at home. Throughout Year 12, I had a desk near my room, but since it was so close to my room, all I really did there was chill out or procrastinate. So I ended up making it my dedicated procrastination spot. And all that the government is saying about staying at home "unless it's necessary to go out" is making me concerned and although my uni campus libraries are technically open, I gotta do my part in slowing the spread of the virus.

I know you should be grateful for what you do have, but I am slightly jealous of those who have a dedicated/built-in study area at home.

I think even just simply wearing your uniform/casual clothes can help with being productive with online learning, rather than staying in your pajamas. This method has helped me just get into the mindset that I'm "at uni" right now and should be studying rather than procrastinating and scrolling endlessly on my phone.

YES! I can vouch for this like change your clothes, it makes you feel fresh, and ready to tackle your day!
Also don't study in bed "research has found that studying in bed can be unhealthy. ... Working or doing homework in bed will reduce one's focus because most people tend to associate their beds with comfort and sleep" "When you are lounging, your mind drifts out of focus. When you are sitting upright, in a well-lit room, your studying will be the most focused. Every hour of studying this way could be worth two hours of studying on the bed or sofa."

ArtyDreams:
I'll add to this post later once I get some spare time - but these last few days, as a VCE Year 12 student, I had to partake in 'online learning' through school.

This biggest motivation help is stick with your timetable!!! Do the tasks that you would've done in school, in order. Your teachers may have set holiday homework, have assgined work for the day, but even if you have nothing, do some revision for that subject, at that time. This is sure to help combat some demotivation! Dont forget to take your snack and lunch breaks. Wake up early, get changed for the day, freshen up, and treat it as a school timetable.

[Imma add more to this list later]
