5 tips for staying
motivated
Tips 1-2
to succeed in high school and in college you have to do your
best at all times. But sometimes its hard to stay motivated, even if you really
care about the work you’re doing.
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 assignments first, doing the ones that take the
most time and work first are the ones that you will 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 your energy those that have the greatest impact on your work coarse and
grades. For example, even though all homework assignments are important, studying
for a mid-term assignments are important, studying for a mid-term 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 out an assignment similar
to one that 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
