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 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 the more time and effort to accomplish
are probably the ones that you’ll learn the most from them.
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 in 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!
