Abstract:

Shortly after the lockdown we decided to send a daily motivational letter to students to keep their spirits up while libraries were closed. The letters have different repeating sections #I need structure, #studying self-reliantly etc. Advice and suggestions were e.g. “Get up at the same time as usual”, “Plan a specific amount of time for your studies”, “Suggestions of fun videos for a break” etc. We will show some examples and share our experiences.
