5 Tips for Staying Motivated

Tips 3-5

3. Set Attainable Goals

If you’re trouble writing a 25-page paper for class because it seems like such a big job, don’t focus on the final number. Break the paper down and consider each section of your paper individually.

4.    Find a Social Support Network

Create a group of people around you who want to help you succeed. Mentors can be teachers or family friends who can give you guidance and help you develop new skills. Counselors can help you with planning your courses and starting to explore colleges. You can also reach out to friends and peers who can motivate you by listening and sharing ideas.

5. Acknowledge Your Accomplishments

Give yourself a quick reward when you complete and assignment or task. Take a walk, send an email, get a snack. Then move on to the next project.
