Post Thanksgiving break is the time where students freak out about all the papers and projects they "said" they would get done, but in reality, ended up forgetting about school all together. My solution to this problem was to get all of my assignments done before thanksgiving break and work on the bigger projects in sections. I believe that it's better to take projects one step at a time instead of trying to get the whole thing done at once. This way you won't have to stress about procrastinating, which I know we all do.
Something that I always do get myself in the mood to do homework is grab a cup of coffee and have my laptop with me playing my favorite song in the background. This encourages me to get pumped up to do my homework. I stay focused by thinking of creative rewards for myself. Here are a few examples of things I have done:
I ate a gummi bear each time I read a paragraph as an incentive
Starbucks keeps my mind awake while studying
Have a cute planner to make you want to look at your assignments
What motivates you to study? I'm always looking for fun things to keep me going!
A gummy for each paragraph is laugh out loud funny -- and clever :)
