♫♪Everybody's working for the weekend. Everybody wants a new... ♫---ooops sorry, had my earphones on. Just needed a little motivation for the weekend.
It was such a lovely day today, sun was shining, a small breeze....almost perfect. However, I did spend most of the morning indoors writing working on an essay and finishing some text readings. Studying shouldn't be be dull and without rewards. During my studying time today, I did take the occasional break and once I finished a chapter I rewarded myself with half an hour of TV time (in which I watched The Big Bang Theory). This leads me to today's tip!

TIP of the day!
Following through on your goals:
#1 Stay motivated!
Reward yourself for accomplishments.
You can plan small rewards (such as a half-hour of guilt-free TV-watching after reading your assigned chapters) or a large reward (an evening out with friends after handing in a big paper). Or even the occasional 5 minute breaks to rest and listen to some music.
#2 Avoid procratinating
See our procrastination tip sheet for more info. (This will be my TIP of the Day on my next blog.)
#3 Evaluate your progress
This will give you the information you need to modify your time management strategies.
