Need Some Motivation?



It's tough to stay motivated on a daily basis through a range of tasks. Particularly this year, being motivated enough to get some fresh air feels more challenging than ever.

Below, we've curated a list of suggestions and support we hope will help you remind yourself: you can do this!

• Manage Your Perspective: Knowing your own headspace and what to avoid will better help you stay on track towards maintaining motivation.

• Plan Ahead: If you are feeling overwhelmed by overlapping finals exams, read on for next steps.

• Motivate Yourself: Set yourself up for success by learning how to approach motivation so your environment and mindset can reflect that same goal.

Often the skills developed in your coursework now will help you during your career. This can range from strategies to manage time, how to seek out support when needed, or even maintaining a certain mindset to always be a learner. While you will gain so much experience over the years; it is important to remember learning moments happen in so many ways and times. Some ways to remain a lifelong learner in the workforce can also be put into practice during your college education. This article from Forbes highlights ways to do so!
