5 tips for staying motivated
Tips1-2
To succeed in high school and college, you have to do your
best at all times. But sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated, even when you
rarely care about the work you’re doing. Here are five ways.
1.
Focus on high-impact
activities
The key to success in school is staying
focused on your course work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your
workload before you start to tackle any of it. Then, make a plan. Although it’s
tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those that take more time and
effort to accomplish are probably the ones that you’ll learn the most from.
To determine what your priorities are rank
your assignments in the order of importance. Then rearrange your time and
devote more energy toward those that have the greatest impact on your course
work and grades. For example, even though all homework assignments are
important, studying for a midterm exam takes priority over writing a paragraph
for English class. As you complete each task, think of it as another step on
your way to college success.
2.
Create new challenges
Changing your approach can help you stay
interested in what you’re doing. If you’ve been given an assignment similar to
one you’ve done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an
essay for a creative writing assignment last year, try a poem this time. For book
reports, pick a history book instead of another biography.
Choose the right!!
