The Lighthouse

If you are having trouble tackling your study (assignments, reading etc.) there are a couple of thing you can do to.

• Think about your goals. Why are you studying? Thinking about your goals should help motivate you, especially if your write them down and display them prominently where you study.
• It normally helps to break a task down into smaller parts and tackle each one separately. For example, for assignments this could include: i) planning, ii) research, iii) writing, iv) reviewing and revising, each of which can be further divided into smaller tasks using the assignment planning calculator.
