Motivation

As a distance learning student, far away from university, it can be tempting to maintain your motivation for study.

How do you keep up your motivation?

• Connect with fellow students.
  Feeling connected with other students enhances motivation. Moreover, you can motivate each other via social media, online study sessions, …
• Set clear, achievable goals for yourself each day.
  It strengthens your focus, and it provides a sense of accomplishment as you make progress 
• Reward yourself after you’ve reached a goal (e.g. take a walk, meet with friends, take a nap, …)
• Develop a routine.
  Establish a consistent study schedule to create a habit.
  Routines and habits are automated behaviours: you don’t need much energy or motivation to start them. 
• What motivated you to start this program initially?
  Reflect on these reasons and keep them in mind when you have to study
