Always keep in mind what you have already achieved and where you want to go next.<\/p>\n<p>You can set up a personal <strong>motivation board<\/strong> for this because repetition helps us memorize things better. Everything that you have already achieved and that you are proud of can be included. Your content may or may not be directly related to your goal. Success in sports or other hobbies also deserves a place here. These achievements represent perseverance or other skills that can help you with studying.<\/p>\n<p>Your motivation board should be placed somewhere where you can always see it. The space <strong>above your desk<\/strong> is ideal, for example.<br \/>\n<strong>Progress<\/strong> can also be shown here. Break tasks up in little steps if you are doing this, which you can then display on your motivation board and tick off after completion. This way you can see where you stand and how far your goal is.

In addition, the <strong>joint appointments<\/strong> of your study groups will help you to stay on track.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, it is particularly useful when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stuwo.at\/en\/blog\/oral-exam-tips\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">preparing for oral exams<\/span><\/a>.

Because group dynamics can also go in the wrong direction. If no one has the necessary motivation, the whole group is happy to be distracted and the motivation will be completely gone.<\/p>\n<p>Look for a group that pulls you along and get involved in return. If they have to constantly chase after you, in order for you to meet deadlines and appointments, you will probably no longer be included in the group.

Then there are those phases where everything is tough. The lectures are boring, the lecturers unsympathetic and your studies only seem to annoy you.

This can happen and it is totally normal.<\/p>\n<p>Question your <strong>expectations<\/strong> and be honest with yourself. Were your ideas not completely realistic and did the harsh reality catch up with you? How could you handle it differently?
