What do you do when you can’t keep yourself motivated?
I’m taking level 2 of the CFA in June and I just can’t keep myself motivated and be consistent in my studies. My goals and study plan are all very realistic so there’s nothing wrong there. It’s just that I can’t keep myself motivated. I think of the rewards after passing this level for motivation purposes but that wears off quickly and I become inconsistent in my studies. My goal is to study 2-3 hours after work and gym and a power nap but I keep procrastinating. I don’t know what to do!!
I often have the same issue when working towards a larger goal. I'm currently studying for the GMAT to go to a nice business school. That in itself didn't motivate me for long. So I use the following mind trick:
I imagine the alternative to not acing the GMAT is living under a bridge because I can't get a job.
This makes me extremely determined to work hard. But I don't mention it to friends, they might think I'm irrational.
Unde neque enim deserunt quo nihil. Ad quasi maxime aut itaque amet dignissimos.
Non ullam qui voluptate. Omnis iusto cupiditate asperiores nulla. Atque et ut impedit ipsa sunt est. Vitae sequi totam non molestiae consequatur amet. Occaecati corporis magni repellat quae commodi ut est. Assumenda nam aut vero et porro deserunt.
