I have a few tips to share that I use to help get me motivated to study or to work on assignments or homework.
1. Have a clean and tidy space to work in:
I find if my room and desk is messy and unclean I feel yuck. It is also a
reminder of something I have do, which distracts my mind from
concentrating on the work in front of me.
2. Have a quiet space away from distractions to work in (unless you enjoy noises such as music while studying):
Nothing stops me from getting my work done than a loud noise in the back
ground or one of my kittens jumping around my room messing things up.
So close the doors or windows if there is noise outside, or turn the tv
off or ask your family to quite things down.Or if your like me with a
pet that runs a muck, pick them up and take them outside and shut the
door.
3. Energies you brain:
I am intolerant to caffeine, so I know of other alternatives to give yourself a boost.
The best alternative is: Mint!
Mint is known as an excellent brain stimulant. You can get this benefit
of mint from herbal mint tea to drink before you start or sip during
your study.
And lolly mints are great too. They are also good because having
something in your mouth to chew on and taste helps many people to
concentrate.
4. Have short breaks to refresh yourself:
10 to 15 minute breaks are great in between study. You can use this time to stretch and do some brief exercises and have a snack.
When choosing a snack opt for something like fruit and nuts.
Having a sugary snack such as a chocolate bar will give you initial
energy but this energy is from sugar that is high GI which means you get
this boost, but it won't last and you will end up having a real low.
Which could result in fatigue and lack of concentration. Fruits and nut
sugars are low GI which means that when consumed you can sustain energy
for longer.
5. Think about how you will feel once you have it all done:
You will
have a weight lifted off your shoulders and you will have time to do
what you like without worrying about the study you have to do.
I hope these will help you. Leave a comment below, if you like. I would
love to know how you went or if you have anyone other tips to share. :)
