Do you have those days when you say to yourself, “I don’t need school,” or those days when you don’t feel like rolling out of bed? You’re not alone, but doing well in school will set you up to have the life you want down the road. There are many things you can do to keep yourself motivated in school. Imagine the life you want as an adult. School may be boring on a day-to-day basis, and some of your classes might feel unimportant right now, but remember that without school, you won’t be able to live the life you want as an adult. Studies have shown that young people working toward clear goals have higher achievements and life satisfaction. Write a list of the things you’d like to be able to provide for yourself as an adult. Some examples of things you want as an adult might include traveling the world, supporting a family, having extra money to see concerts, eat out in fancy restaurants, see plays, etc. Schedule your study time. If you don’t set yourself up to do well in school, you’ll absolutely hate facing it every day. By creating a regular schedule for after school and the weekends, you’ll bring up your grades, improve your self-confidence, and appreciate school more. What you can do includes setting a patterned routine. Successful people often stick to regular routines to help them stay on task and achieve their goals. Besides, give yourself a break from time to time. Studies have shown that taking a break to recharge when you feel like you’re going to burn out helps improve your productivity. Reward yourself. If you want to stay motivated in school, you need something to look forward to. Bargain with yourself: if you study for two hours, you can watch your favorite TV show at 8:00. If you get an A on your paper, you’ll take the whole weekend off and just relax. Remember that nobody can work all the time. Give yourself a little time off when you deserve it. Raise your heart rate. Studies have shown that exercising for as little as ten minutes before handling a task can improve performance by increasing the flow of blood to the brain. The effects can last up to a few hours, so there’s a big payoff for a little bit of exercise. You can do such excise as jumping rope, doing jumping jacks, running in place, or any other simple activity you can do easily in your room. 46.
