How to stay motivated about studying hard to achieve good grades?

Q: My study habits (and grades!) follow this negative cycle. At beginning of a semester I study really hard, being energized from summer break, and I make mostly A’s. After 2 weeks, I’m tired from the long nights of over-concentrated studying, added with a new confidence in myself from the good grades, so I slack off and cram a lot instead–making mostly B’s. I keep doing that until I make a C, or end up with some nastly failing grade on a test. (I have made a 97 on a test once only to make a 53 on the next one weeks later.)Then, it’s like a wake-up call and I strive to make A’s again. I really need to act differently this upcoming school year. So I’m looking for ways on how I might motivate myself, EVERYDAY, to study like I just failed a test–without the experience. Is there some daily ritual I need to go through or something I could do?Please help!!

A: Please read the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens Book. Not only will you be motivated to study, but you’ll know why you’re motivated.Here’s a rundown:1. Be Proactive: recognize that you slack off after a good test, plan for it, write a detailed note of what happens when you slack off (you fail the next test, you lose sleep cramming). Then commit yourself to not procrastinating (tell a friend to keep you on your toes, or just make a promise to yourself–sometimes just an oath keeps us in line)2. Begin with the End in Mind: See that A. Feel it. Now, work backwards on how you get there. (Set up regular study times, work with someone if you have to, make the goal smaller so that it’s less daunting)3. Put First things First: Is your study time important? More important than fun with friends? More important than family time? More important than eating? (probably not, but you get the point. If you put a list of priorities next to your desk, or on your person, you’ll be stronger on your conviction to study. Plus, you’ll get more respect from those that you have to put aside for studying; conversely, if you feel studying can be skipped just this once, you won’t feel guilty……. you’ll know in your heart you need the break, but you’re still on track.)That’s the 1st three Habits and I bet even those 3 will improve your outlook.Here’s another tip: remember that High from getting a good grade? every time you’re going to let your studies slide……. remember that feeling and how much you want to feel it again. Let yourself know that you only get that feeling with hard work…. and then get to work!
