Tis week I realized that in order to actually sit down and do some work (any work, really), we must be really motivated to do it. Since there is plenty of tasks we simply can’t get started on, I’ve come up with a few things that could help us get our study/combat/I-Can-Ace-Everything mode going:
1. Clean up your desk and room. Like I mentioned in the previous post, clean room = clean head
2. Organize all loose papers. Put them in a binder or folder, keep them in one place and in good order that you can follow.
3. Make a “to-do” list. Can’t do anything without that. Whether you’re using an app or a simple journal, setting your goals and tasks is a priority
4. If time permits, watch an inspirational movie. I usually combine it with cleaning my room. My personal favorite is “Legally Blonde” – I instantly get a wave of inspiration to study something and ace it. What’s your inspirational film or show?
5. Approach tasks in smaller chunks. Do homework in 30-45 minute increments like in the Pomodoro Technique. This is optimal time frame just because you’d be able to focus but not get too tired.
6. Reward yourself with food & breaks. I eat sweets and drink tea.
How do you get yourself pumped to study? It sure isn’t easy for me.
