How to become more self-motivated
Once you get out of high school, you're on your own in terms of motivation. You won't have teachers to yell at you, parents to punish you, or anything of the sort. Instead, you'll have to learn to motivate yourself. Dumb Little Man offers six ways to do so. For example:
Stay Focused While You’re Working
Stay focused on one thing at a time – even if that means turning off your internet connection or blocking websites that distract you. If you keep stopping and starting, it’ll seem like your task is dragging on forever – it’s much more motivating to make steady progress.
You might be motivated to start a new task ... but if your attention wanders after five minutes, you’re going to struggle to keep that motivation going. Every time you switch to something else (like Facebook or your phone), you’re breaking your concentration.
