One of the biggest challenges students face is managing their time, especially with an increasing number of classes online.  This has presented a different sort of time management problem, with many people having an increase in unstructured time, but yet struggling to get their work done.  How do you motivate yourself to get to work now, when there seems to be plenty of time later?  This virtual workshop addresses all of the usual causes of procrastination, along with some of the newer ones specific to online work, as well as ways to overcome these.
