Improving motivation
Here are some useful tips for helping you improve your motivation.
- Reflect on the reasons you originally enrolled in university. Write a list and keep it in a visible place.
- Set goals. Get a clear picture of what you have to do and set some short, medium and long-term goals.
- Our self-help resources can provide you with more information on time management,dealing with perfectionism and procrastination.
- Create a work environment that encourages you to study. If you are motivated by working with others then think about joining a study group.
- Celebrate successes. Reward yourself for the tasks that you have achieved and deadlines that you have met.
- Take care of yourself. Physical and mental health issues may lead to decreased motivation, so it is important to pay attention to your wellbeing and the way you manage stress. If you are struggling with personal issues there are services on campus that are here to support you. Professional services such as counselling, special needs and financial assistance, health care, housing and the careers service are available for all students at UTS.
- Stay connected with peers and academic staff in your faculty.
