motivation

[Ric]

just a quick thing out of pure desperation

basically i have litterally no motivation, im at uni and havnt been in much at all never a full week and not at all since bout 3 weeks before xmas

i had no problem gettin up and doin a 12 hour a day job in my gap year but at uni it all seems so lax and unimportant, altho i realise ill miss the boat on exams and placements it still doesnt do nething to me.

does any one have any idea to help me 'get motivated', how do you do it?

I had a similar problem at uni - except I kept it going for nearly 2 years. I was almost thrown out in my final year, but one of my lecturers pointed out I'd handed in all my work so might as well be allowed to take the exams.

I obviously didn't find a solution, so I can't really help you there, but I would recommend you find one soon. I was predicted an easy first in my 1st year, but didn't get anything near that in my finals.

Pull your finger out buddy!

Two weeks packing bread buns with burger at McD's or something.
That's your alternative.
Just an idea.
Or go with Mr James and his digital advice.

I'd write an answer, but I can't be arsed.

I have the same problem; search 'Procrastination'.

For me it helps to keep your ultimate goal in mind; why are you doing this? It's helped me get coursework in before now.

[Visitor Q]

What year are you in? First?

Im getting the same thing, im here for the life not the degree.

Luckily what i can see happening is a summer of dullness and seeing the state of a few friends who dropped out etc should spur me on. So far im not regretting the subject choice, although ive now lost my module i loved ().

Hopefully this semester will have something cool in it...

But remember the first year is a piece of piss. Second and thirds the ones you need to be motivated in.

If you search for my uni thread from just before christmas you'll see how crap i was finding it. A couple of a good mate, a gf and the sheer boredom of christmas set me straight. Hopefully something similar will happen with you, sooner or later...

As mr james says tho, the sooner the better

The problem is down to attitude!

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company ...a church ...a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.

The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes. Don't become a wandering generality. Be a meaningful specific."
