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 Activities
The 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.
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!!!
