Finding motivation to get work done at this time is no easy task. You may want to enjoy the fall weather, take a nap, stay in and watch a show, or go get a fun fall treat. With a heavy workload, it can be hard to find the time to do these fun fall activities. For some people, fall looks like late nights in the library or staying inside studying. Instead of wishing you could do these fun activities, here are some ways you can incorporate the fall festivities into your everyday life, regardless of your workload.
1. Make a fun fall drink to sip on
Having a fun drink when studying can help motivate you to get outside and do some work, so you don’t have to procrastinate and miss out on fun. Making yourself a pumpkin spice latte or hot apple cider will get you in the fall spirit. Even treating yourself to a fall snack or coffee on campus will get you excited to work.
2. Find a nice spot outside to study
Instead of sitting in your same old seat in the library for the eighth week in a row, find a change of scenery. Maybe find a tree to sit under, or a picnic table outside your dorm. Switching up where you study will make you more motivated and less likely to become bored.
3. Reward yourself
Rewarding yourself after a long day of studying will get you motivated and excited to finish your work. Go for a long walk in College Woods, grab an apple cider donut from Emery Farm, or watch a festive movie under your blanket. When you have something to look forward to, passing time by studying will get you excited to finish your work.
Making a fun fall drink, finding a different place to study, and rewarding yourself for your work can help motivate you to lock in during the fall season and will get you excited for the rest of the week.
