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.
Focus on High-Impact Activities
They 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 the 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!!
