5 Tips for Staying Motivated

Tips 3-5

3. Set Attainable Goals

If you’re having trouble writing a 25-page paper for class because it seems like such a big job, don’t focus on that final number. Break the paper down and consider each section of your paper individually. You can handle any project in small chunks.

4. Find a Social Support Network

Create a group of people around you who want to help you succeed. Mentors can be teachers or family friends who can give you guidance and help you develop new skills. Counselors can help you with planning your courses and starting to explore colleges. You can also reach out to friends and peers who can motivate you by listening and sharing ideas.

5. Acknowledge Your Accomplishments

Give yourself a quick reward when you complete an assignment or task. Take a walk, send an email, get a snack. Then move on to the next project.

Student Success Statement #50

Student Success Statement

“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.”

-Thomas Carlyle

Reflection:

I think that this statement is trying to say that people need to know where they are going to end up in order to start their journey. They need to know that they will get somewhere so that they will not get lost or somehow end up in the wrong place. For example, if someone were to forget to check if the rudder was working and once they got on the ocean it wouldn't work then they would start to head the wrong direction.
