tips for motivation i’ve learned/cultivated

  • say your game plan aloud
  • have a to-do list, but don’t cross off your accomplishments
  • if you’re feeling down about grades, look at your previous successes
  • completely kill any distractions
  • create an atmosphere for learning
    - this can include having studyspo tabs open, watching studytubers, etc.
  • put on music that motivates, yet calms you
    - I recommend (not too chill) classical, instrumentals, trip hop, soft electronic, etc.
    - ambient generators work wonders too
  • remind yourself of your end goals– think of your desired uni/s, the grades you’re striving for, the progress you’ve already made
  • make sure your goals are realistic
  • declutter your workspace
  • have water nearby, as well as possibly other drinks and snacks
  • open curtains to let in natural light
  • think of anything that motivates you! friends, fictional characters, spite, whatever
  • take breaks when you need them + forgive yourself for doing so
