How to motivate myself to get work done?
Since the beginning of the school year I've not been doing my homework. I really don't know how to motivate myself to do my homework... My grades aren't the worst, but they sure aren't good. Don't get me wrong I pay attention in school it's just that I can't seem to get myself to do the homework. Suggestions?
Link to What Motivates You
Hi Crystee,
Take a bit of time to think about what you are motivated to do. Is there a way to link getting your homework done to what does motivate you? eg if I get it done I can go out/ring a friend/ have a snack?
Did something happen at the beginning of the year that you need to deal with (maybe express sadness or anger about)?
Is there a way to make homework more pleasurable for you? Walking around rather than sitting? Doing diagrams instead of text? Making up stories to make stuff memorable or jingles to help remember key points (if you like music).
Can you develop a habit like starting as soon as you get home or get to your dorm or go to the library so that less motivation is required?
Hope these ideas stimulate some thinking for you.
