Power cuts do not have to stop your studies. A simple plan keeps you moving even when the lights go off.
Check the load shedding schedule each week and mark your study slots around it. Charge your phone, laptop and power bank before each outage.
Plan for the outage before it happens, and study time never goes to waste. Fatima Ismail, Student Support Manager at LeerlynWhen the power is off, switch to offline tasks such as reading notes, planning a project or writing practice answers by hand.
Online tasks for when the power is on
Save live lessons, quizzes and uploads for the hours with electricity. Download the next two lessons ahead of time so a sudden outage does not leave you stuck. Keep your router on a small backup battery if you can.
Offline tasks for when it is off
Print or save your workbook and use the dark hours to revise. Sketch layouts, draft captions or write out code ideas on paper. You can type them up later, and the work still counts towards your course.
