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.
