Need some motivation to study?

Because I can’t sell the stuff in burlap bags for $100 a pop, I wrote this post.

Here are 10 ways to harness the power of motivation for your study time.

Mindset

Instead of thinking of motivation as a skill or quality, you bring to bear on something, think of it as a force that you exert to stay inline with your intentions!

Know why you’re doing what you’re doing

If your life goal is to help the inner-city elderly population find affordable shelter and food, then know that this study time is moving your core value of helping others forward. You’re one step closer!

Remember what you want to achieve with your life and who you are becoming!

Set goals

Few things can motivate like a good ol’ deadline. Here in study-world, we call them goals. See Time Management (add link) post for some tips on making a goal to-do list. Creating small goals that are doable is more motivating than large, non-specific goals. Setting small goals is like eating the elephant one bite at a time.

Connect your task to your values
