5 tips for staying motivated
Tips 1-2
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 their 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!
