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!!!
need i explain more??? food makes everything better
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.
