After the Covid-19 Pandemic hit Indonesia in 2022, almost all systems turned online. One of them is in the education process in Indonesian. Students and teachers are required to learn online. Therefore, it is very important to know how to effectively study during a pandemic.
For some students, online learning is very boring. Not being able to meet in person and uncomfortable because they have to keep staring at the laptop screen. Therefore, in the end, the material cannot be absorbed properly.
Learning in a Pandemic Period Effectively and Efficiently
Learning does not take long, the important thing is to be effective. No need for hours, but must be disciplined and consistent. That is the key to success in understanding material. Even the difficult ones.
Immediately, below are some learning tips and tricks during a pandemic that you can apply every day:
1. Take Special Time
The first and foremost tip is to set aside a specific time. During a pandemic, you certainly have a lot of free time. Moreover, the learning process is only done online.
But sometimes, that free time is not used for useful things. Often, used for playing games and doing other useless activities. You should avoid this.
Begin to set the time of day. You have to be able to manage when to study and when to play. There must be a specific and specific time to study, lest there be none. It's easy, follow the steps below:
- Get up early and never go to bed early (because it makes you lazy)
- Get enough sleep, so you can manage the time
- Never play outside of playtime
- Study with a focus on study time
- Do it with discipline and don't underestimate it
You are also recommended to make a daily schedule. After the schedule is made, don't violate the schedule that has been made. Firmness and discipline in learning during a pandemic are very important.
If necessary, print the schedule and paste it into your study room. The goal is so that you can implement what has been planned. It's a bit difficult to be disciplined, so you have to get used to it.
2. Don't Study Too Long
The second tip is not to study too long. Maximize 45 minutes of study. After that, make sure you stop and refresh. If you've been attending online meetings for more than an hour, make sure to refresh your brain.
Don't push yourself when your brain is tired. Because it is useless to study in an unfocused brain condition. Learning material will be very difficult to enter and digest in a tired brain. Follow these tips to make your study effective:
- Focus when studying and don't multitask
- After a maximum of 45 minutes, switch to another activity
- Don't push yourself often
- If the brain is tired, stop and change to other activities
- Prepare snacks if necessary when studying
The point is, don't force your brain when you're tired. This will make you stressed and eventually, the body's metabolism will be disrupted. Studying is important, but don't forget to take a break.
3. Pay Attention to Rest Hours
It can be said, learning online can be more tiring than studying offline. Staring at a PC or smartphone screen requires more concentration. So that makes the brain hot and tired quickly.
When you feel tired after an online lesson, make sure to get some sleep or rest. Do not immediately move to other activities that make your brain squeezed out. This can make you vulnerable to stress.
- Never stay up late for any reason
- Get enough sleep in one day, at least 6 hours a day
- Don't get used to sleeping at night, it's dangerous!
- When resting, do not open the smartphone
- Once in a while, refresh by looking at the vast green scenery
The tips for taking a study break above will be very important for you to know and apply. Whatever the conditions, never push yourself and make your body tired. Because such conditions are very dangerous for your health.
It's better not to study for a moment, rather than forcing yourself to be stressed and unable to focus. If you are tired of studying, take a break. If necessary, sleep a few hours to recharge and focus the brain. After that, you can study again.
We emphasize this because many students push themselves. Eventually, they got sick and some died. Again we say, learning is very important. but it is not much more important to take care of your mental and physical health.
4. Study with Friends at Home

Sometimes, you can talk or vent. But don't procrastinate. Make sure you do the session after you are tired from studying. Oftentimes, chatting is more interesting than studying, so don't let the conversation drag on.
But make sure not to bring a lot of friends at home. Because it can create crowds and can eventually connect the chain of transmission of Covid-19. Don't forget to limit your study time. Not too short and not too long.
- Make sure to invite friends who can motivate you to learn
- Use a rotating home study system
- You can do other activities, but you still have to focus on studying
