When you are doing an intensive course of study such as an online degree you need to know how to pace yourself. I find that one way that helps me deal with the stress is to promise myself holidays. I like to make sure that if possible, one day every week I will not have to think either about work or about study, and for me the best day for that is Sunday.
There are some real advantages. You know that you will have some relief from the grind of having to do certain things. And you also give yourself a chance to process your thoughts subconsciously. I find that on Monday I come up with solutions to problems easily, and suddenly find that answers are in my head. Taking time out is really important when you are going to study online programs for long periods of time, so do timetable time without stress.
