Hi Elle!


Finding genuine motivation to study can be challenging, especially when you're feeling unmotivated or overwhelmed. Here are some strategies that might help you get back on track:

1. Set Small, Achievable Goals
  • Break your study sessions into smaller tasks. Instead of aiming to study a whole subject, focus on a single topic or chapter. Completing small tasks can give you a sense of accomplishment and motivate you to continue.
2. Create a Study Schedule
  • Structure your time with a study timetable. Allocate specific times for studying each day, and include breaks to prevent burnout. Knowing you have a plan can make the task feel less daunting.
3. Find Your Study Environment
  • Identify a space where you feel comfortable and focused. Whether it's a quiet room at home, a library, or a café, having a designated study spot can help create a routine.
4. Use the Pomodoro Technique
  • Work for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. This technique helps maintain focus while allowing regular breaks to recharge. After completing four sessions, take a longer break of 15-30 minutes.
5. Eliminate Distractions
  • Identify what distracts you (e.g., phone, social media) and remove these distractions during your study time. Consider using apps or website blockers to help you stay focused.
6. Connect with Classmates
  • Form a study group with classmates. Discussing material with others can deepen your understanding and make studying more engaging. Plus, the accountability can help motivate you to prepare.
7. Visualize Your Goals
  • Think about what you want to achieve academically and how it relates to your long-term goals. Visualizing the future you want can spark motivation to take the necessary steps today.
8. Reward Yourself
  • Plan rewards for completing study sessions or achieving specific goals. Whether it’s a treat, time spent on a favorite hobby, or watching an episode of a show, having something to look forward to can boost motivation.
9. Start with Something You Enjoy
  • If possible, begin studying a subject or topic you’re interested in. Engaging with material you enjoy can ease you back into the study mindset.
10. Be Kind to Yourself
  • Acknowledge that it’s okay to feel unmotivated sometimes. Instead of being hard on yourself, try to understand what might be causing the lack of motivation and address it positively.
11. Seek Inspiration
  • Read or watch motivational content that resonates with you. Whether it’s books, podcasts, or videos, finding inspiration from others can reignite your drive.
12. Reflect on Your Why
  • Take a moment to reflect on why you’re studying in the first place. Consider your passions, goals, and the benefits of achieving good grades or mastering a subject.
By trying a combination of these strategies, you can gradually rebuild your motivation to study. Remember that progress takes time, so be patient with yourself.

Hope this helps!

honestly havven't done much of anything either and i have like 3 weeks of holiday (this is the last week), mostly just been going through the resources & notes here for a headstart on understanding the topics and doing light early reading on prescribed classics for eng.

if you want to study it doesn't have to be anything heavy, just getting an early shallow understanding of the topics of your y11 subjects is completely fine and at least it beats procrastinating then feeling like shit. i'd recommend printing out any online materials you can so that it's a physical thing you can hold/highlight/write on, that's what i've been doing so far.
