Answer 2

Staying motivated is so hard and parents and teachers telling you that passing exams is all the motivation you need just sort of makes you want to sigh probably.
So the answer is that you and you alone come up with the motivation here.
Set yourself targets-small ones at first and with self awarded rewards at the end of them.
I'm going to do 30 minutes study.
At the end of that I can-AND ONLY THEN- go over to a friends house.
If that is too hard to begin with start with
I do a quarter of an hour's History and then I qualify for a chocolate biscuit-or whatever
Work to be done-motivation- reward.
The beauty is not in the biscuit or going to a friends house-it's the feeling of winning.
You've beaten that gremlin that wont let you begin study in the first place AND you also get the best reward of all which is the feel good factor in having got the work done.
Look at what you need to do now-split it all up into a number of projects.
Grade each project in terms of time required and effort needed and for each grade apply a suitable reward that fits.
When each job is done,take a pen and with an immense flowery flourish tick it off and scratch a line through it.
Job Done.

Answer 3

Set yourself some goals and targets.
Reward yourself for good studying so you have something to look forward to at the end.
Say, do 6 hours of studying then go out for a drink!
Or get all your work done and have a day off.

Give yourself rewards e.g. Revise a topic in the evening then reward yourself with a chocolate bar or a break to watch TV.

Motivational tips: number 3

Think about what really motivates you. What do you like doing? Find one thing that really interests you and you'll get into the habit of wanting to learn.

Be realistic about what you can achieve. There's no point in getting upset if you can't get an A at chemistry if your usual grade is a C. Focus on trying to get up to a B instead.

Motivational tips: number 5

Team up with your friends while you are revising. If one of you is having a bad day, the others can encourage them and get them motivated again.

Get your parents or guardian on your side. If you're making a revision plan, give them a copy so they know when you're at your busiest, and can support you if you start to flag!

Motivational tips: number 7

Always finish things. If you keep starting essays or blocks of revision and don't complete them, you end up thinking you can never get anything done.

If you get a bad mark, keep it in perspective. You got one particular thing wrong, it doesn't mean that you're rubbish at everything.

You can't achieve everything at once. Learn to be patient - break tasks down into small chunks and tackle them like that.

Make sure you set goals and targets for yourself. It might be something long term like getting to University, or just making sure you know a topic inside out.

Focus on essays you've had good marks for, or exams you've done well in. Try to remember how you did well and use those techniques again.

Answer 5

Take an hour or so's time out and imagine where you see yourself in say a couple of years. To study, or not to study. Dead end job with minimum wage or the career your studying for.

Answer 6

Look in the mirror now! Picture yourself where you want to be with smart clothes and money, maybe a nice house and holidays abroad once, no twice a year.

Close your eyes. Look again! Consider the alternative.

Good Luck

Answer 7

Break your studying up into half hour chunks. At the end of half an hour study go off and watch TV or listen to music for half an hour, then go back yo your studying.

Answer 8

Try to remind yourself of what you will accomplish having done your studies to the best of your abilities. Where do you want to go in your life? What do you want to do with yourself? If you don't study, what will happen, where will it get you? Set yourself some goals for your life and stick to them. You will soon realize that studying is the best way right now to help you achieve your goals.
