Motivating Myself To Study

I’m going to motivate myself to study for my last exam by writing a post about it.

I have nothing to lose. So here goes nothing…

To Future Herminia,

Stop what you’re doing right now, whatever it is.

Get off your phone.

Grab your notes and read them. Review them.

Sit down or stand up. It doesn’t matter. So long as you start studying.

Read the first word. Read the next word. Read one sentence. Read one paragraph. Read one page. 

Take it one word at a time, one page at a time. 

Break up the work into smaller tasks. Take a break between each task.

Make a connection. Make even more connections.

Reward yourself after you get something done, not beforehand.

Breathe.

Calm down.

You got this. 

You can do it.
