Motivation

Motivation is a key to study success

These tips can help you stay motivated:

  • Promise yourself little rewards
    Every time you’ve reached a goal, give yourself a small reward (e.g. (virtual) social contact, a fun break, going wild on your favourite song, something tasty …
    → Find some inspiration for rewards (website)

  • Study together
    Seeing others study motivates you to do some study work as well.
    So try studying together in the library, at home, or schedule online sessions via video chat.
    Or find another study place in Limburg via Hubspotter (website).

  • Look for inspiring quotes and put them on your walls or your computer desktop.
    Look at them when you feel your motivation dropping.

  • Maintain your productivity
    Tick off tasks from your to-do list and focus on how much you’ve done already.
