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.
