Boost your motivation levels
Boost your motivation levels
To kick start exam preparation week we are going to help boost your motivation levels. As we all know the few weeks before your exams are daunting, that’s why s-cool are giving you our top 5 tips from the app on how to boost your motivation and tackle exams/revision with high spirits.
1. Magical momentum
Motivation levels suffer when our goals seem too large to achieve. When you set a goal, identify several simple tasks that you can accomplish immediately to start making progress. The 17th Century scientist, Isaac Newton noted: “An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion”. Take action, because if you start moving towards your goal it may become harder to stop than to keep going!
2. Push outside the comfort zone
To keep your motivation high, push outside the comfort zone. As a rule of thumb, commit to doing one difficult thing every day. Being adventurous day-to-day will inject zest into your life and keep you hungry and motivated for more.
3. Bursts of activity
When we have pressing deadlines and need to be successful over
a short space of time, it is easy to fool ourselves that we can work for lengthy periods without a break. However, it is more effective to work in short but regular bursts of activity. It will make your goals seem more achievable and it will dramatically boost productivity and your overall motivation.
4. Motivation buddies
Social pressure is an effective way to ensure that you stick to your good intentions. This is particularly effective in the context of sticking to an exercise regime. When you set goals tell your friends and family about your plans. This will create a healthy pressure and an added motivation to stay on track.
5. Energy boost
Our energy levels have a significant impact on our motivation levels. A natural way to keep your energy levels and consequent levels of motivation high is to exercise regularly. Exercise will build up your physical endurance and strengthen your drive to be productive. Devise a weekly fitness plan to help make exercise a healthy habit and protect against low motivation.
