2) Avoid multitasking
3) Establish boundaries
Let your family and friends know what youโre trying to achieve by setting study goals. They can help you stay focused when studying and provide the motivation and accountability to keep you working through the tasks you need to. Your phone will be there later and how great will it feel catching up on everything after you have put in a solid study session!
4) Get enough sleep
Make sure that you’re getting at least 8-9 hours of sleep each night so you have the energy and concentration to focus on studying for the HSC. When you have low energy and low motivation it is inevitable you will look for any distraction (consciously or not) to take you away from your study.
5) Create a vision board
These are a great tool for staying motivated and engaged with your goals, as it allows you to visualise your successes and focus on the benefits of achieving what you set out to do. Once you have created your vision board, the next step is to stay motivated byย engaging with itย on a regular basis (at CoWorks, Student Key Behaviour #1 = Engage your Vision!). Take time out of each day to look at it and reflect on why these dreams are important to you. This will help keep them fresh in your mind and motivate you to stay focused on your study rather than constantly checking your phone.
Don’t forget that any progress is good progress โ even if it’s just one step at a time! Good luck with your studies!
