FINDING THE MOTIVATION TO STUDY Often, the hardest thing about study is finding the motivation to get started. It can be difficult to rally yourself to get an assignment done, or even turn up to class. This doesn’t need to be the case. There are solutions to finding the motivation to study at university and maintain your focus. Here are a few tips. Two students motivating each other to study.

Ask yourself: Why did this type of study initially interest you? What do you most enjoy about it? What do you hope to achieve when you finish? Being able to articulate your ‘why’ will help you set long-term goals. It’s one of the most powerful motivators, when you don’t feel like studying.

It's very normal to not feel motivated to study. It can be hard work and may initially not seem fun at all. It doesn’t help that there are so many distractions surrounding us. We’d rather be scrolling through our phones, watching TV, spending time with friends – sometimes doing anything else, rather than study!

Rather than having ‘write the essay’ as a goal, break it down into smaller chunks. Your goal for the day might be to select readings you want to reference.

Some ideas are to: reward an hour of study with a group class or workout at a VU fitness centre see a movie on the weekend if you complete your study goals for the week schedule time with friends if you get an assessment done before the deadline. You can also motivate yourself with larger goals, if it’s a method that works better for you. Maybe you want to upgrade your computer or phone and decide to only do so if you get a good grade on an overall course. Under the Block Model, you'll focus on one subject at a time and complete each unit within a four week 'block'. This could be helpful in setting goals and easily motivate you to complete them, as you will have a clear and focused timetable to work within.

AVOID PROCRASTINATION Of course, a study plan is only useful if you’re going to stick to it! Procrastination is the enemy of all students.

Your workload doesn’t get smaller, as you won’t be chipping away at it – it will only accumulate. Procrastination can also harm you long-term. You end up wasting time that could be better spent working towards your end goal.
