The Lighthouse

Maintaining motivation throughout the semester can be hard.

One thing that can help keep you motivated is thinking about your goals.

Start by writing down your long-term goals (think about why you are studying and what you hope to achieve).

Next set some short-term goals (for the next few weeks – such as study activities, like doing your course readings or organising your time). Keep a copy of your goals near where you study and cross them off when you achieve them.

Keeping a clear focus on your goals will help keep you motivated.
