How to be Motivated to Study?
Motivation
• the general desire or willingness of someone to do something.
• the act or process of giving someone a reason for doing something : the act or process of motivating someone
Set Realistic Goal
• Setting clear and concise goals will help you stay motivated when times are tough .
• Start by dividing large tasks into smaller, more manageable parts. Then set a mini deadline for each of them.
5 KEYS FOR SETTING REALISTIC GOAL
Write Your Goals Down
• you are far more likely to achieve your goals if you write it down.
• I personally like to write my goals down and refer to them daily to keep them at the front of my mind and also helps make them real to us.
Set Short Term Milestones
• Goals that are far out of reach are easy to procrastinate on and put off.
• It’s fine to have long term dreams but in the short run, you should have regular mile stones as well.
Be Specific
• The more specific you are, the better motivated you’ll be as you get closer to achieving your goal.
• With vague goals, it’s very easy to get discouraged, because you may not feel like you’re getting closer to due to having no clear end in sight.
Schedule In Time For Your Goals• If you don’t make time for your goals, you’ll never
accomplish them.• Rather than leave it to chance, I recommend
scheduling a specific time every day for your goal.Set Goals You Actually Want To Achieve• Don’t set goals because you think you “should” or
because they “sound good.”• Look at your life and the direction you want it to
take and set goals that you realistically can achieve, but more important – pick goals you want to achieve.
REWARD YOURSELF
• Check your study plan and make sure that you've divided your work into do-able chunks. Plan a reward at the end of each chunk.
• Write a list of your rewards.
• Build morale boosters into your study timetable – studying is hard work so reward yourself with time off once a week for sticking to your timetable the rest of the time.
WAYS TO REWARD YOURSELF
Select a reward that applies
• Material or experiential, a reward that nourishes a healthy work ethic will feel less like a guilty pleasure and more like a complimentary breakfast.
Set a reasonable budget
• Set the budget of the reward which you can withstand
Think positively
• Give yourself positive messages
• Don't take people's words on heart
• Form mental images of working towards successful outcome
• For example: studying hard and passing! (It's very important to include the 'working hard' bit: you won't pass if you don't do the assignments or study for the exam!) Keep thinking about this, reinforcing the image.
• If you succeeded once, you can do it again.Think about how you did it and use those techniques again.
• Revise with a friend or fellow student Then, if one of you is having a bad day, the other can be encouraging and get you motivated again.
Take control• Start by deciding to take full responsibility for
what you do.
• Don’t overcommit yourself. You may feel like you’re struggling to gain control of your time and your life because you’ve committed yourself to way too many tasks
• Get organized. Getting organized can help you feel much more in control of how you spend your hours. Having a planner, a calendar, working pens, and a clean notebook where you can make your to-do lists can help you feel less overwhelmed.
• Minimize your distractions. If you really want to make the most of your time, then put away your phone, Facebook…
Just Do It
• Start studying, no matter what. “Boost”
yourself to get started with studying, no matter
if you feel tired or if the teaching material isn’t
interesting at all.
• Simply because it will allow you to free your
mind from all kinds of negative thoughts about
being lazy or lacking the right motivation
• Instead of wasting important time worrying about being unenthusiastic and lazy (in short: playing the victim) you take action
• Once you got into the habit of studying, it will
feel just natural after a while to remain on your
tasks for longer periods of time.
Get Competitive
• This problem could be real or imagined. Either
way, this problem is the best kind If you have a
competitive spirit, you can have a lot of fun
with this one.
• If you think you’re at a disadvantage to other people, you can turn things around by getting
a competitive attitude.
• Think of every project as a challenge and set out to do your assignment better than anybody else. Try to surprise everyone by doing outstanding work.
Remind yourself that this won’t go
on forever
• A lot of students that are really overwhelmed
and want to throw in the towel at this point in
the year in regards to their studies. If you’re a
student, remind yourself that this won’t go on
forever, that everything changes and all you
need to do is just keep taking action.
Music
• It can cause a spirit of optimism which evokes
the epic feeling of being able to do anything.
• Choose songs that you find motivating and
inspiring, songs that immediately energize
your whole body and make you smile from ear
to ear.

If you think you’re at a disadvantage to other students, turn things around by getting a competitive attitude.
It’s unfortunate but true that some students don’t receive much encouragement or support when doing work.
When someone support you to do, we will have a positive attitude to push you and make you finish it quickly
• Get Support
I believe that you have experienced .
People in your school have a big
stake in your success. They are
judged on your performance. If you
don’t do well, they will aslo don’t .
You’ll find that there are lots of
people who are interested and willing
to cheer you on!
