Anyone have any good tips about going from a lazy student, to a good one, and how to avoid distractions?
When I was a student I was just plain terrified of the thought of being lumped in with the dumb kids who didn't do their homework everyday, and who attracted the wrong kind of attention from the teachers.Wishbone said:Anyone have any good tips about going from a lazy student, to a good one, and how to avoid distractions?

On the spot man, follow this post, and you will achieve greatness. Its your environment, body and mind that influence your actions. I'm sure you're not quadriplegic.Jelfish said:Of course, this can be a bit idealistic. There are often unavoidable circumstances when you have no choice but to bs a homework (not enough time and grasping for partial credit). The way you change your habits is to establish a philosophy to live by, and hopefully, things will slowly change for the better.
- Surround yourself with non-lazy people and consider their hard-working nature as a virtue. Don't surround yourself with people who will convince you to do something other than your work. This might be hard if your friends are very lazy (story of my life). However, when you do, you'll find that your work ethic will improve and you'll find it second nature to work at a higher quality.
- Develop your integrity as a student. Your integrity as a student includes acknowledging the importance of your subject, getting to know your professors outside of 100+ seat lectures, and doing homework as though you are submitting it to someone and saying "this is an example of my competence." Sure, it's easy to get swept up in the idea that you're just an insignificant number and then bs a homework, but in the long run, you don't want to be content with just being an insignificant number, right?
Good luck
Heh, it was the other way around for me. Until I changed my attitude. The people you hang with can mess up your life man.mattmns said:Yeah I got to agree with Jellfish here. I remember when I was in high school and I started hanging out with kids who were doing well in school, I began to do well in school too.

One way to motivate yourself is to set specific and achievable goals. Write down your goals and break them down into smaller, manageable tasks. This will give you a sense of accomplishment and keep you focused. It's also helpful to reward yourself for completing tasks or reaching milestones.
One tip is to create a designated workspace that is free from distractions, such as a quiet room or a library. Turn off your phone or put it on silent mode to minimize interruptions. It's also important to prioritize your tasks and avoid multitasking, as it can lead to more distractions and decreased productivity.
Break the task into smaller, more manageable chunks and focus on one at a time. Set a timer for each chunk and take short breaks in between. This will help you stay focused and motivated. You can also try to make the task more enjoyable by listening to music or working with a friend.
Start by identifying the reasons why you are procrastinating. Is it because the task seems overwhelming or you lack interest? Once you understand the root cause, you can address it and find ways to make the task more manageable or engaging. You can also try breaking the task down into smaller, more achievable goals.
It's important to regularly reassess your goals and progress. Celebrate your accomplishments and reevaluate your strategies if you feel like they are not working. Surround yourself with supportive and motivated individuals, and don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Remember to also take breaks and prioritize self-care to avoid burnout.
