This might seem bad but compare youself to your friends.
Just about all of my friends get A+'s and when I compare myself to them it makes me want to be just as good as them. (or better  )

Just about all of my friends get A+'s and when I compare myself to them it makes me want to be just as good as them. (or better ) What if your friends are all stupid?  I don't really know how to help you since I'm capable of motivating myself, but yeah. Don't make huge goals. Even something like "I'm going to get straight A's this term/semester" is too much. Keep it small, something like "I'm going to get my Socials questions done by 8:30 today, and then finish my English homework and go to sleep." If you set times for yourself, you'll know when you're on track, a little behind, or plain screwed. Just take it one thing at a time. Also, remember to write down all of your homework assignments in a planner or something, if the school gives you one. When you get home, take it out as quickly as you can, open it to the page where all the HW for today is and put it on your work table before you get lazy later. This way you'll be reminded of your HW for the whole night and it's hard to forget about it. And remember, you can't always count on other people to keep you motivated. Don't be motivated by punishment, either. You've got to have some sort of self-control and motivation yourself, because in the real world no one's going to motivate you to do things. |
