Time management is very important to learning online. Advise your family or colleagues that this is 'my course time' and request that only in an emergency are you to be disturbed. This is especially important when interactive online training is being undertaken. (e.g. Live Classroom). It is very easy to be distracted and subsequently lose the thread of the training discussion.

Two important time management points are to first point is to develop a regular study training program and the second important point is to undertake your studies in line with your study plan.

Avoid web search distractions. During your course you will need to undertake research using the Internet. When undertaking research is is very easy to become distracted to other web sites that may be of considerable interest, but not relevant to your course related research.

It is also a good idea to turn off any automatic email notifications as these often make a sound which annoys other students in live classrooms, and you get distracted too easily. It is almost impossible to to look at and then read an email when it arrives. It is always better to manually receive (usually by clicking a send/receive button) your email three or four times a day when you have a planned email check and send time.
