The ability to work independently is vital to a virtual
internship. Try to set aside time each day to dedicate to your
internship. Creating a schedule for yourself and sticking to it
will keep the work manageable and help you avoid a last minute
crunch right before a deadline.
It is likely that your site supervisor will give you a time
frame for large assignments, but setting interim deadlines for
yourself will help you avoid feeling overwhelmed right before a
major deadline.
Don’t let deadlines pass you by. Your site supervisor is
counting on you to finish work in a timely manner. Make sure you
devote the required time necessary to complete projects by the
deadline your supervisor established.
Keep track of your hours throughout the semester. Consider
creating a timesheet for yourself to ensure that you are pacing
yourself appropriately.
