5 Tip 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 activities
The key to
success in school is staying focused on your course work. Make a list to get an
overall picture of your work load before you start to tackle any of it. Then,
make a plan. Although it’s tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those
that make 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 their order of
importance. Then rearrange your time and devote more energy toward those that
have the greater impact on your course work and grades. For example, even
though all homework assignments are important, studying for a midterm exam take
priority over writing a paragraph for an 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.
