This week’s module on maintaining motivation couldn’t have come at a better time. With the semester winding down and winter break on my mind, finding motivation to finish strong was the last thing I could find. I recently made the decision to switch my major, and seeing as the current classes I’m in have no bearing on my degree, I’m finding it even harder to study for their respective finals. However, in order to avoid a bad grade on my transcript I knew I would have to muster up the will and just push past these weeks. I’ve employed some of the methods taught in this week’s module, mainly the app blockers and focus improving noise website, Noisli. As someone who could never focus with music on in the background, Noisli was the perfect app for me. It plays soft noises found in nature like leaves blowing in the wind, ocean waves, and rain. The app blocker combined with this meant I wasn’t straying away from my studies and hopping on social media or online shopping websites. I also found some classical music study playlists on Spotify that were perfectly motivating and not overly distracting. I hope these tips help you achieve productivity in this final stretch!
