MOTIVATION & STUDY!

While growing up , the most difficult thing for most of the students is studying . Like most of us say , it's more like stuDYING but we all do want to score well .Virtually all students are motivated in one way or another. One student may be keenly interested in classroom subject matter and seek out challenging course work, participate actively in class discussions, and earn high marks on assigned projects. Another student may be more concerned with the social side of school, interacting with classmates frequently or attending extracurricular activities almost every day.

HOW DOES MOTIVATION AFFECT LEARNING ?

* Motivation directs behavior toward particular goals.

* Motivation leads to increased effort and energy.

* Motivation increases initiation of and persistence in activities

* Motivation affects cognitive processes.

* Motivation often enhances performance.

So here are some study tips for all the people struggling with tough academic curriculum :

1. AVOID DISTRACTIONS

know that you have to do it and be determined to reach your goal. Most importantly switch your mobile or place in on silent and keep it somewhere out of view so you won't be tempted to keep taking a sneak peek ( Even I have a horrible tendency to check my phone every 1 minute and it is seriously tempting to do so). It's easy to just take a glance at your phone for any message / emails or notifications but from 'just one glance' it changes to 1 hour and it's difficult to STOP ! So tell yourself ,"I'll finish this much and then check ." and keep your phone away.

2.SET GOALS

We all tend to set goals which are really hard to achieve . We need to be realistic and set goals which can be achieved in a particular span of time . Instead of telling yourself ," I will do the whole thing tomorrow and I dont want to do it now," tell yourself ," I can finish this much in one hour and then I'll will have free time tomorrow as well." In this way , you would be able to achieve the small goals you set for yourself. Set short term goals for yourself to achieve your long term goal.

3.MAKE A TIMETABLE

Schedule a particular time when you are comfortable studying ( I know it's never but we can all try ) . Some people have a better concentration during the night time while others during the day . Find out which time is suitable for you and make your schedule accordingly.

4. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE

Do not wait till the last day to complete your work or study for your exam instead , You can assign an hour everyday to do so . Sparing an hour from 24 , doesn't sound so bad , does it ?

5. A positive approach!

Your attitudes and mindsets about school/university/college can have a huge impact on your motivation! Having a mindset like: University is a place where I face daily anxieties and get mentally tortured by all my professors is not helpful and will not help you to get motivated. But if you have a positive attitude towards your studies (e.g. you see university/college as a chance to gain important knowledge, to develop yourself and to get ready to start your career) you will be able to boost motivation, just by having a positive attitude towards it.

6.REWARD YOURSELF

After you have successfully achieved your short term goal , you can reward yourself with something you like , for example ; Maybe go play after you are done or watch tv , buy yourself a chocolate .These small rewards make you feel more happy when you have earned it.

7.DO IT FOR YOU

Let's face it , we all have already seen or heard about the above given tips, they are not something new to you, but not many of us actually apply these techniques in our daily lives cause we just don't want to do it and we regret later . It is really important to do it for yourself , not for anyone else . Do it cause you want to gain knowledge , score well and become what you want to be .

Studies is not the only thing that matters , not all are good at it but who says we can't try ?
