5 Reasons why you have ZERO Motivation to Study | Stay Motivated | STUDY When You DON’T FEEL LIKE IT
it’s hard to educate a child and even harder to educate thousands depending on you education is not mugging up books education is a rigorous discipline education is a commitment even before you come to class to teach you help your child with their homework you send your child to school and then you get ready to face your own battles one person multiple roles and you strive to do each of them justice you may not be the best but you give them the best you know so don’t give up now don’t give up ever give yourself some time and credit be you every single day be you because nobody can be you better hey students this is and become master teacher of biology at Vedanta now a lot of you children have been sending me emails and messages saying that you want some tips on how to motivate yourself to get started with studies right because whatever said and done at the end of the day if you are not self-motivated to sit and study nothing ever is going to help right while I would actually say that most of this has to come from within it has to be a self driven thing certainly there are a few things that I can help you analyze and see where you have gone wrong or what is it that you need to think in the direction of so that you can definitely achieve what you want right so let’s get started the top reason that most of us don’t feel motivated to do what we want to is typically procrastination while this may sound like a fancy term it’s something that most of us are very good at doing simply put we just keep postponing things and putting off things until the perfect moment arrives right that is what procrastination is so if you are the kind of person who tends to procrastinate on a lot of things especially studies the key is to analyze why you have been procrastinating okay so some possible reasons I can think of our perhaps that you think this is like impossible for you this is something that is completely beyond your ability is beyond your talents or probably you think you don’t have enough time you don’t know where to get started you feel there is a lot of pressure from outside you think sometimes at the end of the day I may be able to do it like probably on the eve of the exam is perhaps the right time the perfect time to do it and so on and on and on but this never helps right so whatever your reason may be first step is to try and analyze why you tend to procrastinate okay reason number two that you don’t feel motivated to study is that you feel overwhelmed and you feel just lazy by looking at the amount of chunk the huge chunk of material that you have to cover within the next few days this is a very very common thing among students and it used to be one of the common reasons for me myself also as a student to keep putting off things because just by looking at the thickness of my textbook just by looking at the number of chapters that I had to cover there have been many instances when I felt overwhelmed and didn’t know where to get started so that’s reason number two reason number three is quite likely that you are not clear about your goals just think about it for yourself think about it at a slightly deeper level you may tell me man no my goal is to score well in my board exams just ask yourself what is your goal for the day your goal for the week and your goal for the next three months probably because by then I’m sure you would have been done with all your exams so at least for now make sure you’re very very very clear like a picture like a crystal clear picture in your mind you must be able to visualize what your goal is because without knowing what the ultimate target is you wouldn’t know where to get started how to point in that direction right how – you don’t channelize your energy towards that direction so clarity on goals is extremely extremely important reason number four is that you are not clear about your basic concepts this is also very very commonly seen among students because many times you keep putting off and standing the getting to the roots of a concept and you just focus on you don’t scoring you’re improving your scores on the tests that’s gonna happen the next day or the exam that’s gonna happen the next week and so on you somehow lose track of the fact that strength in basics is what is ultimately gonna help you become a window okay so lack of clarity in concepts is my reason number four reason number five that I want to list out is distractions now this can be anything ranging from social media television to distraction from your friends or feeling self distracted because of various different reasons because you are in a doorless since you’re a teenager there are a lot of things that could probably possibly distract you right so these are also a reason why you don’t feel the motivation to study okay so now that I have listed out the five top reasons why you feel zero motivation to study let’s look at a few simple tricks on how we can solve this so now coming to the solutions part first of all always always keep in mind the mantra it’s now or never now especially is very very close to your exams we are approaching your board exams very soon about 30-40 days from today you will be appearing for your final board exams right so we don’t want all the final day the final eve of the exam cramming to happen because we want a lot of we have a lot of dreams and aspirations we want to actually and genuinely do well in our exams right so it’s now or never so just to understand a little more on the importance of time and a little more on how not to procrastinate please do go back to the playlist in students corner one of my earlier videos I think I did it a couple of months ago or a little before that please do have a look at that saying it’s now or never which is where I talked about the importance of time okay because this is a very very precious gift that’s given to all of us all of us have the same 24 hours in a day but the key is to understand the importance of every single second every single minute so yes it’s now or never gonna be done secondly ask yourself what do I want in life okay what is it that exactly I want in life once you have analyzed and thought deeper into it and have got an answer to that second question in your mind should be what can I do right now for this particular exam that I’m gonna appear for be it my class ten CBSE board exams or class ten icc board exam my stay board exam or my class nine final exam whatever is the final exam you are gonna appear for within the next few days what is it that I can do to improve my performance in these exams so that I can get closer to that long-term goal once you have answers to these two questions there will go you will certainly have much more motivation to get started with your studies points number three is for those of you who feel overwhelmed by the huge or vastness of the syllabus that’s in front of you go and follow the Pomodoro Technique now in my video on smart study techniques I’ve spoken a little more in detail about the Pomodoro Technique so the Pomodoro Technique basically simply believes on the principle that you have to focus fully give your full concentration for 20 minutes at a stretch and then take a five minutes break and then sit down for the next 20 minutes study session and so on until you feel at the end of about two hours that you have achieved something really really great this works wonders because your concentration in those 20 minutes should be only and only on the concepts that you have to complete within that short span of time and not at all on your entire syllabus or your entire textbook list of contents okay this is why it works wonders try it out and let me know how it works for you and finally children make sure you create a very very realistic timetable because this is where many of us fail right because we creates beautiful timetables keeping in mind a lot of things we often commit the mistake of being over ambitious and create an unrealistic timetable so make sure you have enough time for sleep study meals and Lygia so that you don’t feel overstressed at all there are a couple of videos that I’ve done previously where and I have given you tips on how to create your customized timetable so for guidance please do go ahead and watch those also make sure it is realistic so that you feel the motivation to get started with studies and there we go if you have anything more to add to this please feel free to add put it down in the comment section below until we meet again this is Ambika signing off bye bye
