Hello again! Okay so this is a thing a lot of people struggle with. Whether it is getting out of bed in the morning or starting your growing pile of homework, it is an obstacle you have to overcome. So here are a few tips to help you boost your motivation.
1. Lists, lists, lists...
You may of heard this thousands of times from other people but honestly just writing one simple To Do List can help. Just the feeling of ticking something off is great, right? Having a list book or even a specific notebook can help this. When you have a list in front of you at the start of the day it just makes the end even more achievable.
2. Turn off all social media.
I know crazy, right? Today we live in a generation where social media is a massive part of our lives. I am guilty of just sitting on my phone; scrolling though twitter, instagram, facebook. Admittedly, yes, isn't it so much more fun scrolling through feeds curled up on the couch than sitting at a desk and writing an 1000 word essay? It may be easier to not do it but if it's revising or homework, you are going to HAVE to do it sometime, better now than the night before.
3. Make a space.
Having a special place you can sit down to work at is important. If you sit slouched on your sofa or bed doing homework you won't be in the right mindset. Have a desk or table you can sit at comfortably and make that desk pleasant to sit at; maybe decorate it with nice pencil pots, photos, fairy lights, sticky notes.
Thank you for reading this post. I feel myself sometimes just sitting, waiting for something to happen when really I should just do it. And maybe if your heart really isn't in something then don't do it. Or maybe schedule it for another day. I hope you are all having a brilliant week and for all of those that just went back to school, I hope it went well and I wish you all the luck for this year. I know it can be terrifying having to face it again after a beautiful, long holiday but I believe in every single one of you.
Love, Scarlet x
