What’s Your Best Method for Staying Focused During Online Classes?

[charliebitson]

I’ve been trying to improve my concentration during online classes because it’s surprisingly easy to get distracted when you’re sitting in front of a screen for a long time.
One thing that helps me is keeping only the tabs I actually need open and writing down short notes instead of trying to record everything word for word. I’ve also started taking a few minutes before class to check what topics are coming up, which makes it easier to follow the discussion.

While looking for ways to manage online coursework more efficiently, I came across some useful information about online class help and it made me think more about how much planning affects focus and consistency.
What works best for you during online classes? Do you take detailed notes, use a planner, or rely more on recordings and reviewing the material later?
