hey, guys! so it’s thanksgiving break, and i have loads of work to do, but i’ve been feeling super unmotivated, so i thought i’d make this masterpost for personal reference and to help you guys out!

// TIPS TO GET MOTIVATED //

have a list of people and/or goals that motivate you

this can be famous people, role models, family members, things you’re working for, where you want to be in five years, a job/grade you want, etc.

listen to uplifting music while you work

i really love listening to rap music, especially drake

however, if music with lyrics is distracting to you, look up some fast-paced instrumentals

study in chunks of time, and make sure to take frequent breaks

one way to do this is to use the pomodoro method (see this masterpost on the pomodoro method + a printable for using it by @educatier)

this helps to prevent burnout, and it keeps you fresh and feeling motivated to continue!!!

have a snack with you while working/studying!!!

this helps me so much

need i explain more??? food makes everything better

have a reward system

come up with a reward system for every goal you accomplish, or for an assignment you complete, or for a certain amount of time you’ve been working for

some ideas for rewards are watching an episode of your favorite show on netflix, getting more food, buying something for yourself, taking a quick nap, etc.
