Reflecting on certain Skills, what are some tasks to help with that?

Goal-Oriented

Staying goal-oriented is sticking to a specific goal to do later on. What’s the goal you need most to help with your learning? What specific task can you do, that can help you do that goal?

Begin writing down your thoughts in a notebook (or anywhere that you can go back into)

• “I want to prioritize my assignments better”

• “Better time management skills”

• Start organizing my environment, assignments, and class schedules”

Try A prioritizing box:

This box can help you organize what is important and what is urgent to complete. Students will abide by an external factor to complete the assignment. When staying goal-oriented it can form as internal attribution.

Time Management

Making a to-do list can help organize weekly projects, classwork, and homework. Also adding the subject name, the assignment, and the date and time will be a reminder of when you can start working on it.

Create another table for yourself as a timely reminder of when to start your homework. Also, don’t forget to add breaks between!!

Organization

Workspace is important to have your own time of staying on task. Having a cleaned-up area is good to write and place items by you. Remember to have a place where your utensils and school objects can go. Organize them to go back and grab something important.

Add a weekly schedule calendar online or by hand. To maintain class schedules and important projects when due. Adding zoom or google meet calls to the calendar is a reminder of what class to attend on time. This is a great way to remember schedules and get used to the online learning lifestyle.

How to boost your motivation

Remember to have confidence and staying resilient are important factors to achieve motivation. As a student, you have to be resourceful in getting up every day to stay proactive and keeping an open mind. Let yourself know this is what I need and what I can work hard for even when facing difficulties. Work your way around it because there’s always a solution. Never give up because one day that goal will become a life skill you will need later on.

Always remind yourself that you’re not alone. If you can’t figure it out, consult a teacher, parent, or specialist to get you started.
