1. Tough subjects/concepts in the Early Morning Hours:
Waking up Early morning has proven beneficial for studies and planning. Calmness and zero-disturbance in the early morning hours will give me good focus and motivation. It gives a mental feeling that you have more time to study. That is why I start with tough subjects/concepts. It makes me feel like I have an entire day so I can learn productively by slowly grasping tough concepts.
2. Allocate Study-Sessions.
Allocate some part of the day exclusively for your study-sessions. Study during those hours uninterruptedly. I dedicate 2 hours in the early morning and 1 hour before I sleep for my studying. I make 3 hours of study-sessions in a day. It is easy to motivate myself to study thinking that I have dedicated study-hours. Plus, I have the rest of the day for other activities. It helps me avoid the guilt of not spending time on studies.
3. Break Down:
It helps especially when there is a lot to cover with a subject, projects or assignments, etc. You can break your study tasks based on time-blocks (does it take more time to study or less), easy/difficulty levels, importance, urgency, etc. A simple plan and prioritization easily motivate me to study.
4. Positive Surroundings:
If there’s no change, studies can become a bore and lethargy. Try changing your places. Keep your surroundings clean and free from clutter. Make sure you have suitable writing instruments and study supplies before you study.
5. Do it for yourself.
Remember, you study not for others but for yourself. Top grades are not the only meaning of studies. Broaden your mind to educate yourself with knowledge and skills. You have chosen this education for the purpose of enhancing yourself. This attitude will easily motivate you to study.
