Those are great additional tips.

I myself did use a Hanspring Visor (dating myself a bit) when I got my Master’s. Among other things, I’d read e-books on the device whenever I had a spare moment somewhere.

If you want to get a little more exotic, I used to take the same ebooks and run them through a text to speech program that created an MP3 file.

I would then listen to my books either while I was reading along or even when I was exercising or working on the yard. (I often found it hard to study I a nice weekend day, when my yard needed some attention.)

If I took a trip or something, I always printed out everything I needed for the next several days in case something happened. I myself did not print out everything, but I have many successful ex-classmates and team mates that lived by this principle!

If you are paper and binder person, don’t hesitate go with your own flow.

I thought these were great tips! As a veteran of distance education programs myself, I would also add that you should invest in a PDA or a regular paper organizer and keep all your homework assignments listed separately (i.e. somewhere other than your regular computer). That way, if something should happen to your computer or Internet connection, you’ll still be able to do homework until you get your problems resolved.

Thnks for your email, and I’m so impressed with your sidebar and blog.

How do you do the sidebar so cool?

You say:

Get a good ergonomic chair and a great big flat panel screen for your computer (even if it requires a docking station for your laptop) Save your body, save your eyese.

I have 2 blogs all abt backs and ergonomics, please take a look:
