Hello everyone,
I am directing my post to current and future students. the most valuable thing that I’ve learned from module 7 is how to keep motivation. Finding a quiet place for studying is very important I prefer to study at the library because is it quiet or at home if my family at work so it is more quiet and more concentration. In module 7 slides says that we can find music or radio with low volume this is a good idea too, but I from the people who cannot concentrate even with low volume, I like it to be very quiet. ” Don’t be tempted to have a television that you can view from your desk, and turn off the phone”. This is from module 7 slides. This sentence is a very important one. phone and TV are the most distractions if my cell phone is near me while I am studying I will keep checking it very often and if the assignment should take an hour it will take two hours so it is not only a distraction, it is a time-waster. There is a self-control app that can be uploaded to mac only that can avoid distracting websites, I used it yesterday and I will probably continue using it. Forest app is also very motivating and helped me to stay focused and away from my phone and it is not only for apple users. After watching the video on youtube for build your motivation there are 5 tips on this video the most tips that I liked and actually tried and works for me is putting my thoughts on a paper even if I am using my laptop for writing I like to write my thoughts and brainstorm on a paper first it helps me a lot and keep me motivated. The other tip is clearing my space, to be honest, I didn’t know that there are apps for avoiding distractions, so I was clearing the space that I was studying at only keep my laptop and a notebook and this tip worked well for me.
