this is for you to read when you feel unmotivated, so make a note of this advice - whatever you feel is best for you.first of all, i recommend watching this video:
watch this when you need motivation - YouTube (it will really help you out)
now, i want you to remind yourself of your goals: why are you studying A Levels? why do you want to get into your desired university? think of it as this: knowledge is power, and by you studying to achieve your goal - you are already closer to becoming an academic powerhouse! if you have not already, make sure your goals are easy to access - so when you may feel like this again, you always have them to go back to.
it is never too late. i know in the back of your mind, you are like 'I've screwed up now - that's the end', but it's not. If you don't/didn't do as well as you hoped so, then you might see it as a failure. But failure is good in life, because it teaches you not to make the same mistakes. Again, you are one step closer to absolutely smashing it!
i also want you to remember that it is
discipline that leads to
motivation, not the other way round! and as i have learnt, discipline is self-love. you are being disciplined because you know the good that is about to come from this. you put your phone down because you know that this study session you are about to complete will contribute to your academic success.
you get to work.
a really good app i recommend to start focusing and feeling more motivated is Flora (

people also ask, 'How much should I revise per day?' or 'When did you start revising?'
1) how much: think about how much time you are taught in school per subject. this is ideally the amount of time you should spend doing the subject outside of school (e.g. each of my subjects have 5hrs lesson time per week, therefore I study for 4-5 hours extra for each week - and I spread this out per week)
2) how often: i do 1hr for each subject a day. I do 2 subjects each day, 4 times per week (hence 5 hours) and I leave one day free to do homework. This is my example:
monday - psychology, sociology
tuesday - psychology, spanish
wednesday - psychology, spanish
thursday - spanish, sociology
friday - psychology, sociology
sunday - spanish, sociology
when should you start revising: perhaps leave 1-2 weeks to recover from your mock exams, and then start the grind!! this should give you 4-5 months to really get into good habits!
one last bit of motivation:your future self already exists. just remember that - they are waiting for you to start now and make them proud
