How Can I Become More Motivated?

I skipped school today because I hate my teachers,first off. I turned in 4 assignments,and they lost them all! So now I have to redo everything! :P Some people annoy me until I feel like throwing the heaviest book I can find at them. And this year,they’re (teachers) are expecting us to do a lot of homework in a short amount of time. etc etc How can I become more motivated to go to school? I cannot change schools,nor can I stay home for the rest of my life. I really want to get good grades,get a higher score on the EOGs,and I want to fulfill my goals. How can I stop procrastinating,also? Thanks.

It’s very tough having to redo everything in addition to new homework that stacks up every day, but try to have getting it done as your motivation. When it’s all done up, you’ll have nothing else to worry about. You can go about your days and do whatever you want. Not only that, but every day you go and do your work you’re one step closer to graduating!

I’ve also found the above helpful for procrastination. Just remind yourself that once it’s out of the way - you’re free to do whatever you want. Do it as soon as you get home so that it’s not laying around.

If that isn’t enough of a motivator for you, try to make some doable goals or give yourself rewards for doing stuff.

Possible doable goals:

  • What do you want to be in the future? (Make the outcome your goal.)
  • How high do you want to get score wise? (Make an average and try your best.)
  • How long should you study? (Make a weekly goal.)

Rewards:

  • Do something you enjoy, like playing a video game.
  • Give yourself some extra TV time.

Etc.

Hope that helps. :)
