Once you’ve looked over those links, I have some advice for you on how you can cope with how you are feeling.
For me, I have hardly any motivation in school to get work done, but there is one thing that I tell myself each morning when I wake up. I tell myself that if I do not get work done today, then I will not graduate on time and I wont graduate around the same time as my cousins who are also juniors in high school. For ME that’s my motivation that gets me going
I suggest that you find some motivation that YOU can stick to and apply to you and what you’re exactly doing.
Now, I have a few tips for you on how you can get more things done in school or college:
Take your time to do your work- but allow yourself to take breaks when needed.
Make sure you’re getting enough sleep & you’re eating right.
Take notes like you would write in a journal (pretty pens might help you.)
Ask for help when you need it. Chances are someone has the same question as you.
Do your work and turn it in on time. Don’t let yourself slack off because getting things done now and sooner, will pay off in the future.
Okay, now I have some very important links that I think you should check into:
