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.
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!!!
