Successful students put in an enormous amount time to perfect their mental health, body, and stability. They say no to everything that's not important to them. They find out what they are good at and spend time working towards their goals. If you're an online student, it is essential to know your goals. If you're not defining your goals, you're accepting mediocrity. Getting ahead with your projects can be a daunting task, especially if you're behind on academic deadlines.
