Motivation

My Motivation at the moment isn't that focused on school right now. Since the middle of the semester is here and projects and tests are coming up, I should focus on passing my classes and doing well. I have been swayed from my focus because of the free time that I have. I love video games and I’m consumed with the fact that I’m very good at them. I still go to the gym and try and keep fit. I intend to get my motivation up by my friends support, and talking to my dad. When I get unmotivated its not like I don’t do any work, its just when I do the work I’m not interested in it and my mind is on other things. Due to the fact that I am not the most comfortable when I am reading, when I sit and read a book I often get fidgety and lose focus quickly. One way that I can help myself get motivation is to set a task like doing well in school, or getting my project done. Then to reward myself I will go and do arena on World of Warcraft and play call of duty. I also like to reward myself with getting food; I love inn-n-out and often go there when I do well on a paper or test. When I’m feeling overwhelmed I go and play basketball with my friends and go swimming. Then when I come back I feel relaxed and ready to work, I often do my schoolwork with my best friend as well. We keep each other motivated.

  1. I think doing homework with a friend is a great idea, but I live far away and don't have many friends in my classes so that would be tough. I also have trouble staying focused because of video games, but rewarding yourself is a good idea.
