Finding Motivation
Getting motivated to do different things can be difficult. Especially staying motivated to do these things. Different things that most students struggle with getting motivated in is finishing schoolwork on time, keeping up good grades all four years of high school or college, and not skipping classes. Getting motivated and staying motivated in school is crucial for a student’s academic performance. This doesn’t mean a student has to get all A’s all the time, but this does mean that a student needs to work hard in school all the time. Finishing school work on time is important because it shows teachers that you respect them and that you can accomplish work on time. A great way to make sure you are turning in assignments on time is to stay organized with all the assignments you have in each class.
A great way to do this is to make a spreadsheet of all assignments for that semester with due dates and label which class they are from. Another great way to do this is getting a planner and writing each assignment that is due each day. Having a list of all the things you need to get done that you can look at every day will motivate you to actually get things done. The feeling of accomplishment that you get after crossing off something on your to-do list is what keeps many people motivated to get things done. Students in high school and college have to juggle many different things in their schedule like school, homework, work, and extracurricular activities. Students have to do all of this while also making time for family and friends. It can be hard to balance all of these different activities, so having a planner of everything you have to do for the day really helps you to stay organized.
Organization is a great way to stay motivated to do things. For example, if you have an organized desk and a planner of all the things you need to get done you are more motivated to actually complete your tasks because you’re not worried about any clutter and don’t have as many distractions around to keep you from doing work. You might be wondering, why is it so important for me to stay motivated anyway? There are many reasons why it is so important to stay motivated.
