5 Tips for Staying
Motivated
Tips 1-2
To succeed
in High School 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 to the order of their importance. Then rearrange
your time and devote more energy toward those that have the greatest impact on
your course work grades. For example, even though all homework assignments are
important, studying for midterm exam takes priority ever writing a paragraph
for English class. As you completed 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 and essay for a creative writing assignment last year,
try a poem this time. For book reports, pick a history book instead of another
biography.
