Motivation in study
|
Try making up mnemonic devices to remember key info. Mnemonic devices are simple word-based hacks that can help jog your memory. Try creating an acronym for an effective way to help you remember a list of words or ideas.[18] Write a jingle or rap to help you memorize significant names and dates in history or the plotline of the novel you’ve been assigned to read.[19] Search “how to remember [subject]” online for some ideas or feel free to make up your own mnemonic devices.
13 Focus on your long-term goals. Motivate yourself by making a personal connection to your work. Doing that algebra worksheet or making those flashcards might not feel important now, but think about what you’ll achieve by studying.[20] Imagine yourself getting a good score on a test, receiving praise from your teacher, or feeling proud of your end-of-term grades. Let these good feelings wash over you as you reframe your perspective on studying and find a deeper meaning in your tasks.[21] If you’re hoping to attend college or earn a scholarship, think about how each small study session will get you 1 step closer to your dreams. Use your long-term goals as motivation to keep pushing yourself. 14 Set up your computer. Plug in your computer and close all unnecessary tabs before you get started. Log into your online learning account and pull up all of your PDF readings so everything is ready to go. Sit near an electrical outlet and plug in your computer before you get started so you don’t have to break your concentration when the battery gets low. If you’re easily distracted but need to use a computer as a reading or research tool, consider printing out the material to help you stay on task.[22] If you need to use the computer solely as a word processor or PDF viewer, disconnect it from Wi-Fi or station yourself in a no-Wi-Fi zone so you’re not tempted to go online. When computer use isn’t necessary for your studies, turn yours off and stow it away. Download 262.77 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham:
