motivation: Hey advicenators!! I need help on motivation:
well over the summer we need to read two books and do a book report on one of them. My school starts the 29 of aug. and i still havnt started either of my books. Im usually really good with this stuff and get it done before the first month of summer. But this year i just cant find motivation cuz the books suck and are boring. I dont want to have a bad fist impression on my teachers and not have it all done by the first week of school!! What do you suggest?? what can i do to motivate myself?
[ ] Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category? Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Find a book you're interested in think about how great you'll be presented fully prepared.You want a first good impression don't start off a bad one on the first month especially the first day.Probably a book that relates to you which will motivate you to want to read it go to the library or search it I have a good site for it www.answers.com ]
take one night and just read read read!!! b/c u wanna ve able to enjoy what little bit of summer you have left!! thats your motivation...or you can set a limit like- i cant go to the pool unless i read 50 pages or something...and a tip- read the book that has the report due with it b/c you can always read the other book like last minute...
hope i helped....

I suggest you just get your ass moving. You need to read the books -- nobody cares if you WANT to read it. You have to. Sounds a little harsh, but it's true.
After reading the books, try looking for the cliffsnotes or sparknotes (www.thespark.com) for the books.

Set aside time every day to work. At this point maybe an hour a day where all you do is read or work on the report. Early in the morning or first thing after lunch or dinner might help. Stick a note up someplace visable to remind you and maybe reward yourself for each chapter read.
Also, don't be ashamed to ask your family for help. Tell your mom you have to work each day on this and would be grateful if she would remind you and ask you if you have. Hey, maybe even tell her you aren't allowed to watch tv or have dessert or something, untill you have put the hour of work in. Your parents will really respect your effort too, and can help make sure you get the time and quiet study space you need. ]
To keep you motivated, just keep thinking that theres really no way out of it. You just have to conquer it. I mean, if you dont do it, then you'll get a bad great, and just think you dont want to start out like that. Also, after each book you read, you can give yourself a little reward. Buy yourself something sweet, go shopping, or just have a day with no reading--just relaxing .
HOPE I HELPED!
