Do Small Subjects First<\/h2>\n
Work on smaller and quicker subjects first. This gives you the feeling that you have accomplished more and keeps you energized.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Take Mini Breaks<\/h2>\n
Take mini-breaks between a long subject. If you always take a long time with science, consider breaking it up into 3 or 4 sections and work on other subjects in between.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dangle a Carrot<\/h2>\n
Dangle the carrot for yourself. Even if there was an activity you were planning on doing anyways, remind yourself constantly that once you finish school you can do that activity, like finish your book, hang out with friends, watch a movie, etc.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Make a To-Do List<\/h2>\n
Make a daily to-do list. I have a notebook where I compile my list each morning before I start school. Not only will you know exactly what you have to accomplish for the day, you will be amazed at the satisfaction you feel when you can actually see how much you are getting done. Use the student login<\/a>\u00a0on the My School Year website to mark your work as complete!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Don\u2019t just focus on the negative because it is easy to get discouraged when you see how much you have to do.<\/p>\n For instance instead of thinking, \u201cMath is really hard today. I\u2019m not very smart and this dumb lesson will take up my whole afternoon. Might as well take as long as I can.\u201d Think, \u201cMath does look hard. However I took less time than usual in English and I\u2019ve been able to do just fine on the hard lessons in the past\u201d.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While all of these tips will not work for some, it is still important to discover what works for you to fight against de-motivation.<\/p>\n Share your tips for regaining that drive to get it done!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Focus<\/h2>\n
