Motivation

[xMUSICxMASTERx]

I've been having motivation problems as well, for as long as I can remember, especially with school. I'm in college now, paying for it all on my own, I know I'm doing what I want to do, but I still can't bring myself to complete simple assignments on time, or at all. I've gotten really tired of it so I'm trying to change my habits and spend more time doing useful things.

I recently started my 3rd semester, and I've been trying to improve, slowly at least. I'm starting by being a bit more organized, I've been making lists of all my due dates and being sure to check it frequently. Just by doing this, I think I've already improved and it feels good to be a bit more organized with what I need to do, and make sure I don't forget anything. I was thinking of maybe making myself a schedule to strictly follow, from the time I get home each day to the time I go to bed. Fit a couple of hours of studying in with breaks in between.

I would say that something like a schedule or some kind of system to be more organized with your time would be best. People get used to routine more than anything, and they feel good completing things that they have actually planned out for a while. It's kind of like your sleeping schedule, if you suddenly decide to start taking a nap at 5:00 each day and try to stop, you will feel tired at this time every day until you get used to not sleeping at that time anymore. You'll have an urge to fall asleep at that time, but you want to try and break the habit. (I hope that made sense lol). If you have a habit of playing games/tv/doing nothing all the time, then that is your routine. Try to put the things you need to do into your routine and get used to getting things done, and you'll maybe get an urge to get these things done, which would be your motivation. (This is what I believe in, and I'm going to try at least.) It may be a slow process and hard to get into the routine, but I think I'll eventually get there. Good luck to the both of us~
