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 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.
Choose the right
