A lot of the time when
students sit down to study, it feels like they’re about to climb Mount Everest.
A long and strenuous journey awaits them.
It is easy to see why
a lot of teens are suffering from the motivation blues. It is incredibly
difficult to engage in a productive study session if you’re not feeling
motivated. So, how can we fix this?
We’re going to take the task that feels like climbing
a mountain, and give it a makeover so it feels like a brisk walk. Here’s what
your teen needs to do.
Instead of thinking
they have the daunting task of revising weeks and weeks of class notes, your
teen needs to set just ONE meaningful task. Only one.
This could be:
- Making your own diagram
- Solving equations
- Making an essay plan
- Attempting a past exam
- Making flashcards
- Whatever your teen can think would be a useful task to complete
The Result? Instead of
staring at their desk or computer screen for two hours, your teen has just
powered through a productive study session in which they completed a meaningful
task that will directly contribute to them getting better grades.
They’ve completed a
task in half the time it would have taken them had they not set themselves this
one manageable goal. Plus, they took a task that seemed virtually impossible to
complete and broke it down into manageable chunks.
