Difference between revisions of "Gain the Motivation to Do Well in School"

In school, it is easy to find yourself distracted. Constantly we are procrastinating, slacking off on homework to be on social networks, gaming or watching videos, even to the point where we are cramming for that social studies test two hours before test time! Most of us have been there, and worse, we have to hear about our sibling's 93% on their test at the dinner table. Undoubtedly, you are reading this because you are worried, stressed, and even angered by your lack of motivation to complete your work efficiently. If you don't change your ways and do better in school soon, it will be much harder to get your act together later.

#  Admit you have to change. This is the most commonly known but also one of the hardest, if not the cheesiest, step when you set out to solve a problem. Yes, today you have decided you want to do something about your habits, but what about tomorrow? How about next week? What about when you log on to the internet while your homework lays on the table? Will you be motivated to change then? Of course not. You have been there. You got tired, then distracted, and soon were on the internet. You felt guilty, but swallowed your guilt saying "I'll commit tomorrow." NO! Do not do this. If need be, write down everything you are committed to do and post reminders everywhere. Post-it notes can do wonders. By constantly seeing the phrase "I need to change", your brain is, primed for change. Please, please, ''please'' commit to this. Post it as your status on all your social networks. Truly become committed to change. And do not feel embarrassed by your postings, feel empowered. Post your intentions on the background of your computer and as your screen saver. If you don't have your own user account on your family computer, explain to your family members, the extent of your commitment and your need to post reminders to motivate yourself. If they are like most families, they will understand, and will stand beside with support you had never imagined. You will definitely gain a load of respect from them.
