In this Module, we learned about maintaining motivation and how you can achieve that. We looked at through building motivation, and the mind, the body, and motivation.
Everything in this module I have found very useful and can help me along my path in school. The thing I have found most useful though is probably managing your stress which can be found in this link. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vTsf2ZT9EM1lbzVBxgTSPu-BrF5YV3bmw2r6qDdoZyBN_JX34mJ81sheuvdDWjhUTP9pO7VeGS2jOmt/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000&slide=id.g3cf2681289_0_70 . I find this to be the most useful because as a college student myself, you tend to find yourself very stress out at some point in the year due to school. I find to be most stressed out is when I have a lot of homework due in a short amount of time or find myself stressing out about an exam. I believe these tips can help you through these times and is something I will be taking into consideration during finals week. The slide gives you a bunch of tips that can help you.
Something that I can put to use from this module would have to be building motivation and valuing my sleep more. Building motivation is something that I need to work on. I think that is a reason that leads to procrastination for most people. If you do not feel like doing it, than you will tend to push it off longer and longer, which is something I do. Being unmotivated is something I feel a lot on Sundays as I just want to lay around all day and do nothing. But finding the motivation to do it and see the results after is a good feeling. Another thing I need to work on it valuing my sleep. I usually do not get much sleep at night and this leads to me taking ling naps during the day. At night I am usually on my phone on social media or watching Hulu a lot of the time and then I look top and it is about 1 in the morning. Doing this starts my day off bad as I am tired for most of it and is another reason I am unmotivated. If I can get more sleep at night, feel more motivated to get my things done for the day and have more free time.
What I am good at from this module would have to be exercising and reducing stress that way. Everyday I feel the need to get some form of exercising in. I usually try to hit the gym about 4 times a week and stay in shape. Feeling good is important to me and the way I go about my day. Whenever I get a workout in, it makes my day a lot better and makes me feel a lot better. I tend to get more accomplished in that day than I day I do not workout.
From this module, you can take away a couple of things. First, it is important to take care of your mine and body. Taking care of these two things can make you feel a lot better and help you accomplish more things just like it helps me. It might help you stay motivated more often. Second, keep away you distractions. If you do not have any distractions such as your feel, you will be more focused on one task and will be able to get in done better and faster. And third, reduce the stress you put on yourself. There is no reason someone should have a bunch of stress on themselves. It makes you feel terrible and you will not be about to give your best effort. Find something that reduces your stress and that will be very helpful for your future.
