Welcome to the home stretch!
The semester is winding down and projects are wrapping up. Finals and graduation ceremonies are right around the corner. Some of you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. For others the goal may seem far away. Some are feeling accomplished. Others are feeling stretched and overwhelmed. How do you stay motivated when this happens to you?
Here are 10 ways to keep yourself motivated when things become overwhelming:
- Make yourself a deal
- Do something small
- Do the toughest tasks first
- Compare yourself with yourself, not with others
- Remember to have fun
- Don't fear failure
- Write your goals down and work towards them
- Break it down
- Do what makes you happy
- Think outside the box
Looking for even more ideas? Here is a selection of books that are available in the library:
- 9 Things Successful People do Differently by Heidi Grant-Halvorson
- The Happy Student: 5 Steps to Academic Fulfillment and Success by Daniel Wong
