How to motivate yourself to study?

[krumike]

The short answer is I don’t.

That in itself isn’t helpful, so I’ll tell you what I do instead.

I create the discipline in my routine that forces me to start studying even when I don’t feel like doing it. I write the time in my planner, I schedule it in my digital calendar, and I set the appropriate space for my study time. Get rid of distractions. Turn off the TV. Put your phone on silent – or better yet, put it in another room for the first hour of your study time.

It’s the discipline to do the work even when you’re not motivated that will allow you to do it consistently and keep going until the goal is achieved. Good luck! 🙂
