Many college students become overwhelmed with college soon after school starts. Even the best students experience high levels of stress. The best way to succeed in college is to motivate yourself through simple tasks, which will help to encourage others around you as well as increase classroom performance. Being motivated and committed are two of the main concepts which help students to excel in a classroom setting and throughout college. The strategies in which the Huffington Post explains are in four steps. The first is to visualize the short-term and long-term benefits of achieving that goal/dream. The second is to create a healthy competition with yourself. The third is to build in rewards for yourself along the way. Finally, have a theme song or a collection of theme songs to get you psyched about the opportunity and the process towards the goal. I tried over a weekend to use these strategies to complete two separate classroom assignments. I began by using my short term goal as saying I did not want to busy myself with work all week or at the last minute. The goal was to finish all of the work over the weekend. My healthy was competition was being able to take a nap after a finished a portion of my work. My reward was some type of snack that I had been craving. Lastly, I did not use a theme song I just watched a tv show and when the show went off it was time to start my work. With these strategies, I was able to keep myself encouraged and finish all of my work. You can do it too!!!
