Motivating Yourself introduction

Genius is nothing but a
great aptitude for patience
George-Louis Buffon, 1707-88

As young children, we have a great ability to learn and to see past setbacks.

As we begin to meet expectations created by our families, schools, and environment, the motivation of our early years shifts from our goals to pleasing others, and often our desire to learn suffers.

How can you motivate yourself?

With this exercise, try to

  • recognize your sense of discovery
  • take responsibility for your learning
  • accept the risks inherent in learning with confidence, competence, and autonomy
  • recognize that "failure" is success:
    learning what doesn't work is on the same path as learning what does work
  • celebrate your achievement in meeting your goals

Good luck!

Managing stress through organizing tasks

It is how people respond to stress
that determines whether they will
profit from misfortune or be miserable.

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Croatian/American 1934 -

This strategy is one of many that can help you manage stress by setting realistic goals for yourself. Try this exercise to organize, reduce and prioritize the number of events in your life.

The right word may be effective,
but no word was ever as effective
as a rightly timed pause.

Goals/objectives & priorities:

Enjoyment is not a goal;
it is a feeling that accompanies
important ongoing activity.

Paul Goodman
American, 1911 - 1972

Print and complete List three goals or objectives that are most important to you, and indicate whether they are long range, medium range, or immediate:


How much time have you set aside to meet each goal during your week?

Does your time allocation reflect the priority of your goals?
I don't understand this question.


Can you change your hourly commitments to meet your priorities?

Yes, If I can, why not.


Where do you have the most flexibility: weekdays or weekends?
Can you change one or the other? or both?

Weekends. No, I can't change them.

Can you change your goals? What are your options?

For now I can change my goals because they are important. My options? I don't have, or maybe I have but the circumstances or the people around me don't let me options.

Can you postpone any goals until school breaks?

No.

How will assignments and tests affect your time allocation?

In no way can affect me.

What can you change to meet your class responsibilities?

To let my laziness and depression in a side and become more concise about my priorities.
