Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

MOTIVATION.. how to get it!!!???

At the start of 6th form, I was really motivated to get on track and do work but now.. with all the PS, university, coursework jumping at me...

I didn't do so well at As, so i want to try my hardest at A2.

I'm starting to lose track. I want to keep up with studies and stop getting so tired easily!

What can I do :frown:

You just need to find yourself a real target that gets you excited :biggrin:

I think not procrastinating is probably key. Once you start procrastinating, then work seems like this horrible thing hanging over your head - and the more you put it off, the worse it seems.

Also, give yourself breaks and rewards - so you have something short term to spur you on as long as the long-term goal of good grades. Tell yourself you can have x amount of time on the internet, but only if you've *first* finished a piece of work, or worked for a certain number of hours. Or promise yourself a night out if you get everything done.
