How to Get Motivated to Study

Prepare Your Study Space

Find a quiet space where you won't be distracted. This could be a library, a cafe, a room in your house, or anywhere else. Avoid places where you're likely to run into your friends.


Stock up on study supplies. Make sure you have all the pens, pencils, paper, highlighters, and Post-Its you need. You don't want to interrupt your study time to get more.



Remove Your Distractions

Wear comfortable clothing. Little things like having to pull up your trousers can eat away at your concentration. Wear clothes that are familiar, fit loosely, and don't constrict you.
If you have long hair, tie it back so that it doesn't fall into your eyes.


Put your cellphone on silent. You do not want to be taking calls from friends and family members when you're trying to study. Let them know in advance that you need time to study, if you think they'll be concerned. Better yet, just place it on silent and keep it somewhere out of view so you won't be tempted to keep taking a sneak peek.


If possible, turn off your computer. Unless you absolutely need it for studying, turn the computer off. Likewise, stay away from public computers. It's a minefield of potential distractions. It's all too easy to tell yourself "I just want to check my e-mail" or "Let me just look at this bit of celebrity gossip." Before you know it, you've wasted a whole hour.

Set Study Goals


Set concrete goals for your study session.Think in specific, achievable goals instead of vague generalities. Achieving this goal will make you feel accomplished at the end of your study session.

Reward yourself when you complete your goal. Think of a small way to reward yourself when you've met your goal. If you're in the middle of a study session, you can take a quick walk, eat a granola bar, or listen to a favorite song. If you've finished your study session, then feel free to have some fun by playing games, talking to friends, or watching a video.
If you decide to reward yourself with a quick break from studying, remember that you will eventually have to get back to work. Set a time limit for your break and don't listen to the voice in your head saying, "Just a few more minutes."

Think of what you will achieve by studying. In order to keep up a positive attitude, try to visualize the good things that will come to you by studying. Imagine getting a good score on a test, receiving praise from your teacher, or the good college you might be planning to attend. Although studying is sometimes boring and hard, thinking of the end result will keep you pushing ahead.

Prepare Yourself

Make a study schedule. Set aside a specific block of time for studying for each day that you need it rather than telling yourself vaguely, "I'll have to study sometime this week." Planning it out will make it easier to stick to your resolution.


Do not procrastinate. Don't wait until the last minute to study for a big exam or read a 90-page chapter. If it is assigned Monday and due Friday, start on Monday and finish early in the week so you don't have to worry about it at the last minute.

Get Started


Just get started! Sometimes that can be the hardest part. If your study schedule looks too daunting, set a smaller goal. Consider reading half of the chapter today and half tomorrow. Just do one or two problems from the workbook. Remember that it is always better to do a little now than end up doing nothing at all.

KISAHKU

Gambar
Namaku Aura Mutiara Azzahra, Aku lahir di Bandung pada tanggal 15 Agustus 2001. Aku merupakan anak kedua dari pasangan Muhammad Rizal dan Nenden Rostiningsih. Aku memiliki kakak laki-laki yang bernama Aulia Ramadhan. Ayahku bekerja sebagai dosen di Universitas Padjajaran (UNPAD). sedangkan ibuku merupakan seorang PNS di PDAM. Sekarang kakakku sudah memasuki semester 5 di Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB). Aku mulai menuntut ilmu dari play group Darul Hikam pada tahun 2004. Kala itu aku merupakan anak yang sangat menyebalkan, sering sombong, centil, dan susah makan. Mungkin itu sebabnya mengapa salah satu pembantuku ada yang tidak memberikan makan kepadaku saat orang tuaku sedang bekerja. Ia malah melahap makanan yang seharusnya dimakan olehku, hingga akhirnya aku menjadi kurus dan terserang penyakit hepatitis (kalau tidak salah). Saat badanku semakin kurus, bundaku curiga, kenapa aku kurus sekali, padahal bundaku sudah menyiapkan makanan untukku. Akhirnya bundaku memecat pembantu...
