5 Tips for Staying Motivated

1. WRITE DOWN ALL OF THE REASONS WHY YOU WANT THIS LICENSE.
You have to have a “why.” There are so many reasons…
pay increase, finishing what you start…you decide.

2. CREATE A LIST OF “THINGS I WANT TO DO AFTER LICENSURE.”
Whenever I had to sacrifice something for study time, I would put that item on my list. Whenever I don’t want to study, I look at that list to remind myself that the quicker I get through these tests, the quicker I can enjoy those things.

3. WATCH THIS VIDEO.

I remember watching this video in high school before I had even decided to study architecture.

4. TAKE A (SHORT) BREAK.
Take a week-long break in between tests and plan something fun—whether you pass or fail. Because even if you fail, you’re making progress.

5. ENJOY WHAT YOU ARE STUDYING.
Most importantly, enjoy what you are studying. It’s actually pretty interesting. Everything you learn is practical and is going to help you in your everyday life. Be curious. Embrace the learning tangents. Not everybody has the privilege to learn and better themselves.
