Starting off the quarter on a good note is always a must. As the quarter goes on, it can be hard to stay motivated as school gets heavier. If you feel yourself losing motivation, here are six tips on how to stay motivated throughout the quarter. 

Set Goals

Setting goals is a great way to stay motivated throughout the quarter. Making goals like completing an assignment, finishing a part of a paper, even cleaning your room are all ways to give yourself something to work towards. Write your goals by making a to-do list in your phone, on paper, or in your calendar. By setting goals and completing them, you will feel very accomplished. 

Reward Yourself 

After completing a goal, reward yourself! Take a break by watching a show, exercising, getting something to eat, or taking a nap. Rewarding yourself can give you the motivation you need to accomplish your goals. 

Develop A Routine

Developing a routine will help keep yourself accountable for the things you need to do. Schedule when to eat, do your homework, and when to take breaks. Making a routine and sticking to it will help keep you going and keep your motivation strong. 

Create A Comfortable Environment 

Creating a comfortable environment will make all the difference in getting things done. If you aren’t in a place that is comfortable, relaxing, and organized, it’ll be hard to stay motivated. 

Don’t Let Bad Moments Bring You Down 

Sometimes you will make mistakes and that’s okay! When you do make mistakes, don’t let it bring you down. Making mistakes allows us to improve ourselves. Use it as motivation to do even better next time. 

Have A Good Support System 

It’s important to have a good support system. Surround yourself with supportive people who remind you to be your very best, push you to greatness, and are there for you during the good and bad times. Having supportive people in your life will keep you on your feet and will help you along the way.
