The &quot;pomodoro technique&quot; was also huuuuge for me. I still use timers whenever I have to start something unpleasant today. The idea is to work for 30 minutes, then take a5 minute break (or you can adjust the time, I think I usually did 25 work, 5 break). Just knowing that I had a break coming up was enough to get me to actually start working, which was by far the hardest part for me. Once I started, most of the time I&#39;d end up working through the break. It basically tricked my brain into thinking that starting work was no big deal, and I&#39;d normally work more efficiently, knowing that any interruptions could wait for the break.<br \/>\n  A lot of my ability to do my work had to do with setting the stage, which wasn&#39;t always the same. Some days I would go to my favorite corner if the library and listen to my favorite study playlist, some days I&#39;d sit at my desk at home with a carafe of nice tea, some days I&#39;d have couch time in my sweatpants and a blanket and my favorite study junk food.<br \/>\nI&#39;m an intense procrastinator (I couldn&#39;t even do my &quot;homework&#39; in kindergarten and didn&#39;t figure it out until my*ahem* second senior year of college). These techniques worked for me. Good luck!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Symoni B.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It&#39;s very difficult to give a direct answer when I don&#39;t know what motivates you. However, my personal experience, I find that reminding yourself that you&#39;re doing something great every single day and continuously referring back to when you first started going to school and the progress you&#39;ve made sense does a huge difference to your dedication and confidence in what you&#39;re doing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Eno N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">A good routine might trump motivation because you won\u2019t always feel motivated. Create habits that allow you to meet both responsibilities.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Genilsa Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Think about the long term, understand that everything that is worthy takes time. Think about someone who inspire you, a warrior who is struggling and showing you that it is possible to succeed!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Skye U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I try to remember the reasons I like school or work. What benefits when I go and always trying to keep a positive mindset<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Henry G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">The best way to motivate is to think about the scenario of after success in any kind of work. The glimpse of joy helps us to follow the track properly.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Abel Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Water is honestly the best way- it\u2019s fresh and always wakes me up in lessons!!! Only downside is needing the toilet all the time lol!! Good luck on your journey- you can totally do it x<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nicoline G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I make small goals for what I want to get done, for example I&#39;ll say I want to write for 30 minutes, or answer 5 emails. It breaks down the big things and then I can celebrate my achievements even the small ones. It also helps to write it all down so then at the e d of the day I can see how much I crossed off. It makes me see my progress and encourages me to do more everyday.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jenny F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">So, you have to remember your &#39;why?&#39;. You have to think about why you&#39;ve chosen to make positive changes to your life and, when you lose motivation return to these. After a while, your positive changes will become habits and part of your daily life. In fact, you won&#39;t need to be motivated to do them because they will become part of the fabric of your life. Until that happens though, focus on your &#39;why?&#39;.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lena J.
