5 Tips for Staying
Motivated
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 studying
focused on your courses 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 courses
work and grades. For example, even though all homework assignments are
important, studying for a midterm exams take priority over writing a paragraph
for English class. As you complete each task, think of it’s 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 .
