what do you do when you have no motivation to study or work? I have important exams and presentations to get ready but I keep postponing all of them. I have no motivation to study at all. I’m open to any suggestions.
1. Create a plan
Make a schedule on when you will do your work, and what you want to get done during that time. Put that list up somewhere you know you will see it so you don’t forget. One of the worst things to do is drag the work out, it will just be more exhausting and make you less motivation than you already are (negative motivation).
2. Take breaks
Don’t push yourself to sit and study/work for hours, take breaks everything hour or so. BUT make sure the breaks are short, don’t do work for an hour and then decide to take an hours break.
3. Get active
When you have no motivation to do something, go out for a walk (if you can) or do something that you find refreshing. This can help some people be more focused during work later on in the day. BUT this doesn’t work for everyone! Some people feel exhausted or just tired afterwards, so they procrastinate work.
If you are studying for exams what type of exams are you taking (for example AP exams?)? Fiveable may be a great way to study if you are short on time. Remember study smart.
And seriously, don’t stress, I have exams coming up soon as well!
First of all, thank you for your answer it means a lot! I’ll try these on my upcoming exams. To answer your question, I’m an engineering student and have been taking midterm exams since last week and I have one more week to go for mainly analytical courses like heat transfer 😫
