I'm one of those people who are really hard to be motivated. It must be one of "to be or not to be" situations to make me actually sit down and study. Sounds familiar...?
But once I got a reason to study (like f. ex. a threat of getting expelled from uni, huehuehuehu), I SIT and STUDY. After an hour or two I'm usually done. I'm clever but incredibly lazy fucker.
Getting to know myself for last exciting almost 20 years I found some little things that make me almost willing to study:
1. NEW NOTEBOOKS.
My handwriting is really beautiful, I guess 3-4 centuries ago I could have become a calligrapher. Starting a new notebook makes me try even harder, so my notes look as if taken by someone actually paying attention during lecture or almost giving a fuck about their grades. Oh, sweet irony...
2. NEW BOOKS.
They just smell brilliant. I love the smell of new books, but who doesn't? Recently I bought some professional veterinary books I fell in love with. It's the right word, love. Once I get them into my hands, I can't let them out until I go trough them, appreciating each page. Almost like studying!
3. COLORFUL MARKERS.
I wish I owned Stabilo factory. Pink, yellow, orange, green, purple, blue... Whoooa, so much fun while taking notes or reading them, one of the actual reason I even use my notes.
4. MY FAVOURITE PENS.
Stabilo, of course. I'm a little OCD and I need all of my pens to be black and the same type. I've been using these ones for years. I'd rather not take any notes than taking them with any other pen. Might cause a trouble when I forgot one of mines but there's always extra one attached to my Filofax and in my friend's bag so that I don't have any more excuses not to be writing.
5. CLEANING MY ROOM
Like a boss. I need lots of free space around me to even think about getting to work. I enjoy cleaning a lot (upcoming perfect housewife here!) so it kind of goes together. Yayy.
6. LITTLE STICK NOTES.
So adorable. Once I put some notes on them and stuck on the side of a page, they cheer me up while reading. They make you remember of what you have already read and which section you went through. Many shapes, many colours! Call it gay or childish but that's what I like!
Any tips from you? :)
