hey, guys! so it’s thanksgiving break, and i have loads of work to do, but i’ve been feeling super unmotivated, so i thought i’d make this masterpost for personal reference and to help you guys out!
// TIPS TO GET MOTIVATED //
- have a list of people and/or goals that motivate you
- this can be famous people, role models, family members, things you’re working for, where you want to be in five years, a job/grade you want, etc.
- listen to uplifting music while you work
- i really love listening to rap music, especially drake
- however, if music with lyrics is distracting to you, look up some fast-paced instrumentals
- study in chunks of time, and make sure to take frequent breaks
- one way to do this is to use the pomodoro method (see this masterpost on the pomodoro method + a printable for using it by @educatier)
- this helps to prevent burnout, and it keeps you fresh and feeling motivated to continue!!!
- have a snack with you while working/studying!!!
- this helps me so much
- need i explain more??? food makes everything better
- have a reward system
- come up with a reward system for every goal you accomplish, or for an assignment you complete, or for a certain amount of time you’ve been working for
- some ideas for rewards are watching an episode of your favorite show on netflix, getting more food, buying something for yourself, taking a quick nap, etc.
