Let’s say you have a new activity or project that you like to incorporate into your schedule. This of course requires you to build up a habit. The habit should allow you to stay focus and committed for a long duration of time so that you can get the work done. Here are some tips that can help build up a work/study habit.
1. Allocate a time slot where you work/study. Preferably, set up this time slot for every day of the week so that the habit builds up faster. Furthermore, most often, we procrastinate or aren’t able to keep up is because we do not consciously put effort into when to get a job done. To overcome this, you need to dedicate a time in the day every day for the work.
2. Work/study at your own pace. You don’t have to rush. You just just have to get some work done even if it’s a little. Little progress a day adds up to a lot of work accomplished over the week. You’ll be surprised and amazed.
3. Note your progress. We don’t often pay attention to how far we’ve come until we look back to the beginning. Everyday, therefore, keep track of what you’ve done the day and over time you will be happy about the amount of work/accomplishment you’ve made.
4. Reward yourself. Every time you finish working, reward yourself with free time or spending money. You can also ask your parents for reward. Another way to reward yourself is to note your own progress as this can be self-fulfilling.
5. Build up a momentum. Once you get started, and you find yourself getting more productive, try to do more and more. Set up more projects and go for them. Don’t get bored by doing the same thing everyday.
