How do you get motivated to do stuff ?

Thanks guys - I tried the library, it's true that it's easier to study when I'm not home.
@(you need an account to see links) : You're totally right. This semester, I tried to keep up-to-date written summaries of my classes. I hope it helped encoding information in my long-term memory ! ^^
@(you need an account to see links) : Good idea ! A teacher I had a few years ago told us he bought 30 lottery scratchcards at the end of every semester to motivate him to correct our exams (he could scratch one every 4 exams). He was done after 1 week ! haha

Learning how to leave your PC, TV and iPhone/Smartphone off is a great way to start.

A teacher I had a few years ago told us he bought 30 lottery scratchcards at the end of every semester to motivate him to correct our exams (he could scratch one every 4 exams). He was done after 1 week ! haha

Ironically, in one of my earlier years in uni (when I was still a very big procrastinator), I picked up a hobby of lottery gambling. I would buy a bunch of scratchers and said to myself I could scratch 1 space (11 spaces/card) on a card as a reward for every page of lecture notes (6 slides/page)I reviewed.

Summed up, I got lazy and anxious; started a "reward tab" where I eventually scratched 2-3 full cards before finishing one page of notes, then ran out to buy more cards instead of studying.

Never again.

I watch this youtube video of Tyra Banks yelling at a girl, and I pretend that the girl is me and I need to get it together.

Works Every Time!!!

Update : I started a TV series, and I can watch an episode only when I'm done with a chapter ! XD Also : I started studying at Starbucks, where I have coffee + no Internet. That's perfect !

maybe it'll motivate you

it's kind of weird but also weirdly adorable

My parents pay for my classes
So if I fail I effectively wasted $
And I get in BIG trouble because I failed

That in itself is enough motivation

I'm on college, and i try to turn everything off, 'cause inetrnet is your worst enemy D:
By the way, if your family takes a part of your time, wake up earlier!
And organize your time! No internet until night!


When i don't pay attention, i make abstracts, summary tables and try to solve old finals questions. It'll also help you in the future, if you need to review!
Also, drinking something (but alcohol ) awakes you. Make a jar of tea, juice or whatever, and drink, drink, drink!
AAAAAND if that doesn't work, i walk while i study xD


Good luck hun, high school and college are a small part of your life, and you'll have a lot of time to work after that xD

I'll take some adderall, and then getting stuff done is more fun than a 6 flags theme park!
