1 . Finding motivation, especially study motivation, is not always easy.     1     Here are some ways of doing it.

Offer yourself encouragement.

Yes, you should give yourself a prize or some kind of reward when you've done a task.     2     Remember, you have to know the exact conditions that you need to meet in order to receive the wonderful cake.

    3    

You need to feel confident about your studies. I am sure all of us have succeeded on several occasions. Remember these past successes and you will feel more motivated to continue!

Write down your goals.

Don't just think about them, don't just say them, write them down!     4     And that's why you find salesmen always want you to write something down before you actually buy something. By writing your name down, you are in a sense giving your support for their cause. If then you are asked to buy what they are selling, you are more likely to do that than if you hadn't signed the paper!

See your goals.
