MSN has a surprisingly good article up this week aimed at helping online students battle distraction.

Online learning may be ideal for your busy schedule — but your busy schedule isn’t always ideal for online learning. Family members compete for your attention, new e-mails pop up in your inbox, and your growing to-do list beckons.

I highly recommend taking a look!
