Extrinsic Motivation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Use breaks and rewards as extrinsic motivators. After reaching your goal reward yourself with something that makes you smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Try the Pomodoro Technique for scheduling breaks and rewards \u2013 Many students find using the Pomodoro technique helps their productivity, where they work for a set amount of time, for example, an hour and a half, followed by a set break, for example 15 minutes, then another hour and half, etc. Experiment with the times that work best for you. It could be a 50-minute work time followed by a 10-minute break, or 2 hours, followed by 20 minutes \u2013 it's up to you.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
