Module 7: Motivation

Hey y’all!!

After going through module 7, the thing I found most useful was the tip to use two separate accounts when doing homework online. I know that when I eliminate all distractions around me but still use my laptop, I am tempted to get on Twitter or Netflix. I can use a separate account on my laptop and create a parental lock on the sites that I know will tempt me. Something that I already use as a sense of motivation is taking breaks. I know some may think this takes away from either studying or doing homework but it really does make working a lot more productive for me. By using the Focus Keeper app, I plan to work for 25 minutes and then have a 5 minute break afterward. This gives me something to look forward to. It also gives me the thought in the back of my head that I really only need to work hard for 25 minutes and then I can give myself a break. Advice I would have for you guys is to remember you are essentially your only sense of motivation so figure out what truly matters to you. Also, take breaks. Hard work is great but don’t burn yourself out.
