set up a reward system: be that candy, lighting your favorite scented candle, watching that episode of b99, or scrolling through tumblr aimlessly for 5 minutes! ensures you stay motivated while completing tasks step by step
create a vision board: vision boards are collections of pictures that motivate you or describe a future you want to achieve. not only is it a lot of fun, you learn a lot about yourself and your goals and always have something to give you that spike of motivation. tip: pinterest has amazing boards on every. topic. out. there
break up your larger tasks into smaller ones: i’m sure you’ve heard this a thousand times but it’s so important to create a list of smaller tasks instead of one big one. everything seems much more do-able once of a sudden, and you can prioritize certain tasks much more easily.
write it down instead of looking at it: if you really want to memorize something, writing it down will help you a lot more than just repeating the words out loud or staring at them. this also goes for any structures you need to know by heart: printing out a picture and labeling it is way better than just looking at the labeled textbook!
just start for 5 minutes: even if you don’t feel like it, tell yourself you’ll only do it for 5 minutes. this makes it easier to actually get started on things, and might still trick you into continuing the work even after those 5 minutes are over.
write a letter to your future self: some websites, such as futureme, offer the free service of being able to send yourself an email in some months, a year or multiple years from now. thinking about how much can change in that amount of time and how far you can come is extremely motivating, and also a very nice surprise for your future self.
