Earning your degree online offers the flexibility to learn on your schedule—but it also requires discipline, planning, and the ability to manage multiple responsibilities at once.

Here’s how to navigate the workload of an online degree program while protecting your time, energy, and peace of mind.
Balancing school, work, and life is one of the biggest challenges—and benefits—of earning your degree online. Flexibility allows you to study on your schedule, but without clear routines and time management strategies, it’s easy to fall behind or feel overwhelmed. At Kent State Online, we understand that our students are busy professionals, parents, and lifelong learners. That’s why mastering your time is just as important as mastering your coursework. Here are the time management tips every online learner should know to stay on track and thrive.
In online learning, your environment matters. Having a dedicated, comfortable, and distraction-free study space can make a huge difference in how focused and productive you feel. It’s not about creating a Pinterest-perfect office—it’s about building a space that works for you. Whether you’re earning your degree from home, a shared space, or a small apartment, here’s how to create a study environment that sets you up for online learning success.
Starting an online degree program is an exciting step toward reaching your personal and professional goals. Whether you’re returning to school after a break or beginning your academic journey for the first time, preparation is key.
Online learning opens the door to flexibility, accessibility, and opportunity—but to make the most of your experience, you need the right tech setup. Whether you’re preparing for your first course or looking to improve your current workflow, having the right tools (and knowing how to use them) can set you up for success from day one.
Starting an online degree program is exciting—but it’s also a shift in mindset. Unlike traditional classrooms, online education requires greater self-motivation, time management, and personal accountability. That’s why mental readiness is just as important as having the right tech or textbooks.
Online learning offers the flexibility to pursue your degree on your own terms—but flexibility doesn’t mean it’s easy. To succeed in a digital classroom, it’s not just about having the right tech or time management tools. It starts with the right mindset.
If you’re considering earning your degree online, one of the biggest questions on your mind might be: How much work is this going to be—and can I fit it into my life?
