Staying motivated in college has been my number one challenge. It has been the one thing that has put me between mastering material in a course and falling behind. Luckily, I’ve found way to stay motivated and avoid burnout through a long semester. The thing I found most helpful was setting long term goals for each semester, and, more importantly, short-term, daily and weekly goals. Long-term goals can seem daunting and intimidating for most people, however, once you delegate the tasks needed to reach them to daily and weekly routines, it is doable, and it is what I found most helpful during my time as a college student. This is especially important in online learning because tasks can easily slip away if you are not on top of the online assignments.
