By active listening and learning in classes, the burden of self-studies is reduced to a great extent.
Often, because of being late, students miss the important class topics of discussion. This develops confusion and a lack of understanding in them. But by being on time, these confusions and misunderstandings about the studies will also be reduced. Students should consider online classes equally to the traditional classes. By developing the right mindset about why regularity is important, students will be able to follow it as well.
- Sleep on time
The main reason for either being absent or late in the classes is sleeping late at night. To be on time for the important tasks of the next day, sleeping on time a night prior is very important. Many students stay awake till midnight and therefore they are not able to wake up at the right time before the class login time. Watching late-night films, scrolling social media sites, chatting with friends, reading novels, and all such other activities must be avoided by the students till late at night.

- Also, students must not forget to sleep for a good six to eight hours. To live a life of discipline, including regularity and punctuality with learning, good sleep hours are important.
Timely preparations
Arranging uniform in the morning itself, finding the books, collecting the study material, doing homework just before the class, and all the last-minute activities can make students late for the classes. To prevent all this, doing timely preparations and arranging all the necessary goods in advance that is a night before the class is important. Students should arrange the books according to the timetable a day before. Completing homework, accessing online study material, ironing uniforms, etc all should be prepared promptly.
- Set alarms
Students can set class-wise alarms. This means that every day you have more than one class. And for taking all the classes, students have to join through different links. Sometimes, students forget to take all the classes. But setting alarms for all the daily events and classes order-wise will ensure student regularity and punctuality in all the classes.
