The better part of our childhood is spent in studying, first at school and then at college. We spend around 16 years in pursuit of knowledge, after which we either choose to stay on in the world of academia or move on to a career. The most important part about going to school and college is how we’re able to cope, if we can study well and earn good grades, because performance equates to how effectively you can study. If you’re having trouble finding motivation to study, here’s how you can give yourself the necessary impetus:
- Think of the consequences: When you’re driven by the fear of failure, you’re sure to succeed. So when you can’t bring yourself to study, think of the consequences you’re likely to face if you fail or perform poorly in your examinations. Push yourself to go on because you cannot bear the embarrassment of potential failure.
- Think of the rewards: The other alternative is to focus on the advantages that efficient studying can bring, like great grades and all-round appreciation. When you know that you have it in you to excel, and when you know that all you need to do is apply yourself in order to ace tests, you are motivated to study even through tiredness and boredom.
- Think of the money: And in extreme cases, if you’re in danger of failing if you don’t study, think of all the money you’re throwing down the drain, not to mention the time you’re wasting. When you have to repeat a year or a course, it’s going to cost you much more than you’ve already spent. So instead of putting yourself further in debt, buck up and study so you get through your exams, if not with flying colors, then at least with passing grades.
Before you begin studying, ensure that you are in a quiet place that is conducive to concentration. Also make sure that you get enough sleep the night before your exam because a brain that is sleep-deprived cannot perform to its potential. Drink lots of water and stay hydrated in order to prevent unexplained tiredness and lethargy. And begin your preparations much before the eve of the exams so that you don’t panic for lack of time.
