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.
