Motivation/Distraction... (2 Viewers)

[Domsky]

Heey ppl, i was wondering what motivates you to strive best because im kinda running out of good motivations....
plus what are the 'distractions' during your studies...

Well heres mine:
Motivation: 1 Reach Uni
2 Finish my uni subjects
3 Get job, then become super rich....
4 Buy whatever i like
5 (probably look for the people who made my life superbly horrible and punish them) optional....
Distractions: 1 Facebook
2 TV
3 Video Games
4 Other extra curricular activities....e.g family issues etc
5 Other people....

Your motivations should be over a shorter period.

For example: top next maths exam and make the kid who thinks he is so smart jelly.

Motivation:

The fear of getting a shitty ATAR, knowing that I could have done better and regretting it.

Distractions:

Music, dancing, dramas.

What helps for me during exam periods is to write daily sticky notes to myself of what I need to accomplish during that day. I would write it down and put those sticky notes everywhere in the house as a reminder. The satisfaction and motivation comes from ticking off and scrunching up a piece of paper once you've done a task.

That is a really good idea! I should try it some time!

Sounds like a fun way of motivating myself...maybe I should try your way....
Thnx

This 100%. Short term goals are important to maintaining your motivation on a day-to-day basis.

Haha, suprisingly I've seen all that except Heartstrings which apparently = bad.
