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
its 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 its tempting to do the simplest assignment 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 importance. Then rearrange your time
and devote more energy toward those that have the greatest impact 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
