5 Tips for Staying Motivated
Tips 1-2
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 really care about the work you’re doing. Here
are five ways to stay on the right track.
1.
Focus on High-Impact Activites
The key to success in school is staying
focused on your course work. Make a list to get an overall pictures of your
workload before you start to tackle any of it. Then make a plan. Athough 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 assisnments are
important, studying for a midterm exams takes prioprity 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 your 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.
