The long wind-down, the repetitive school days, and the never-ending workload becomes increasingly daunting as the year progresses. With school more than halfway over and summer only a couple months away, motivation may become difficult to obtain. Here are some ways to stay motivated and hardworking throughout the last months:
Make a to-do list: write all of your assignments down, so you stay organized. You can manage your time and put the amount of work into perspective. When you check each item off, you will feel more accomplished
Find free time to do something you enjoy after the work is done.
Participate in class so that you can become more engaged in school, and so your time in school does not drone on without meaning
Complete your homework early so you can focus on fun things. Do it right after school so you aren’t waiting for the last minute. Motivate yourself with a rewarding activity after.
Get enough sleep and eat healthily, so your body can also feel good during this time.
Keep a daily journal of the positive experiences of each day. Instead of focusing on negativity, you can make your days more meaningful.
Make a playlist of your favorite music to listen to while you do your homework.
Know you are not alone. Share your feelings with a close friend, and form a study group so you all can stay on task.
Although it may be difficult, don’t give up now. You have to focus on the end goal! If you successfully get through school for a little while longer, you can successfully get to summer without stress.
