Managing my time when teaching online has been a challenge. I try to designate certain days and times for certain activities. This way I can meet deadlines and not spend too much time on any one thing.
For example, certain days are focused on discussions and certain days are focused on grading papers. Similarly, certain times of day are dedicated to checking emails and other times are focused on chats and asynchronous communication.
This way, at the end of the week, I've accomplished most of everything that needed to be done (not always everything, but mostly everything!)
