5 Tips For staying motivated
To succeed in high school and college, you have
to do your best at all times. But sometimes it is hard to stay motivated, even
when you really care about the work you are doing. Here are five ways to stay
on the right track
1. Focus on High-Impact
Activities
The key to success in high 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.
