how to stay motivated long-term

trust, me i know that long-term motivation and consistency is hard. long-term motivation might be difficult to maintain, but there are effective techniques to help you stay focused and determined. whether you're seeking personal ambitions, academic achievements, or professional success, here are some strategies to help encourage motivation:

understand the reason behind your goal ☆ does your goal contribute to personal growth or meaningful relationships? ☆ how does your goal impact others? ☆ is your goal meaningful to you? if your goal lacks meaning, it may be hard to maintain motivation.

positive and negative motivation motivation can come from different places ☆ positive motivation: the desire to experience pleasure ☆ negative motivation: the desire to avoid something (an outcome) both types of motivation have their place, so learn to recognise what type fits in where. (post on this coming soon)

set up systems use your initial motivation to set up structures: ☆ create routines, systems and habits that help you towards your goal even when your motivation fluctuates ☆ when your emotions wane, rely on these systems and disciplines to maintain momentum

break down goals ☆ tackle one goal at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed ☆ set achievable milestones and celebrate each step forward ☆ keep the momentum going by focusing on manageable tasks

validate good work ☆ give yourself a little reward, or thank yourself, for completing hard tasks ☆ this reinforces motivation and encourages effort

remember--motivation isn't in a constant state, it ebbs and flows. these small tips will help to stay motivated. i'm going to provide more information in upcoming posts, and i will link them here once they are published.

luck on your journey ❤️

messy morning desk / audio mixing between classes

01 FEBRUARY 2024 | 40/100 DAYS OF PRODUCTIVITY

morning class was canceled, so i had a nice breakfast of toast + hot honey in the morning

went to office hours for my research course to talk about my topic, it was super clarifying and helpful, and i’m excited to dive into it

had a class at noon, which was the discussion section for my sociology class

discussed my topic in my actual research course, and the initial feedback from people in the class was really encouraging, they seemed interested in it, and a few people even started talking about their personal connections to the topic, which is super exciting

went to ballet class (my first one back this semester)!

icky mental health hit me like a truck at the end of the day, so taking it easy and giving myself a treat

friendly reminder that masking in public is an act of love!!

>> day 11/100 days of productivity

this day's productivity was more on completing my team's research:

acknowledgements

technical revisions

progress report submitted to the university ethics committee

surprisingly, just these 3 resulted into taking up my whole afternoon 😅 but it was very nice to complete our thesis. we only need to publish it and display it in our faculty and library, haha

also here we have bobby, habitually laying down on the books i read.

I forgot many places closed on Easter...thankfully this place was open

[ 13th december, 2023 • 94/145 days of uni ]

studied for the literature exam tomorrow afternoon. didn't do anything else all day and was able to revise everything :))

[megumi-fm]

this fortnight in megumi.fm ▸ bye bye march👋

ft. unchecked ambition to recreate of the hardest Kpop dances (only in vain), lots of code debugging, and using Yeolpumta the wrong way

💻 Internship // progress tracker

-> detecting pockets in protein structures using 3diff pipelines -> finding consensus pockets using outputs of pipelines -> pocket alignment of protein models by structural alignment with a set of known binding site structures -> read base paper -> weekly presentations [2/2] besides these tasks I've been trying to modify all my code files such that they can run directly from the system terminal (i hate edge cases and this entire process has taken years off my life) so that I can upload it on github

🎓 Uni Stuff

-> charted out a timeline for master's applications deadlines and related work

👟 Kpop dances!!

completed! 🔥bye bye ankles ⇒ I'd started this way before I messed up my ankle and then I abandoned it but we are so back... I picked it up last week and finally! it is done. 💪 bts' magnum opus ⇒ the main challenge is ensuring to hit every beat at the right speed and my rendition is still far from refined but hey. atleast my moves have developed some fluidity currently <3 🧢 left, right and just vibes ⇒ really needed a breather after the first two dances and now I'm here xD although the main reason I picked this dance was bc I loved the part switch version and all the references // ✅chorus + prechorus ⚡ crush...ing my motivation ⇒ so much for taking a breather. I've been obsessed with this song and I tried to start learning it and... four seconds- that's how much I've learnt in past three days. but the satisfaction when I got those four seconds? immeasurable. // ✅1st chorus pt1/3

💿 Other Things This week

📅 started my 18day habit challenge! by which I simply mean I'm using Yeolpumta as a daily tracker app rather than a study app and I'm loving it <3 I get excited seeing different colours marked on the daily calendar and as a consequence I've been more productive lately :D 🍊 been eating healthier! lots of fruit and water intake and I've also been learning to cook! 📖 The Myth of Sisyphus <3 I don't read a lot of non fiction but this piece is hella intruiging and I'm having a lot of fun 🍕 Lunch with the besties [x2] 🎰 Gaming Arcade shenanigans yet again 🎆 Fest at Uni! One of the best bollywood singers of all time showed up and he sang bangers from our childhood; we had a blast 🎧 lots and lots of kpop and for some reason I keep coming back to Advice by Taemin

[ 18th - 31st Mar; week 13+14/52 || and with that, 1/4th of this year is done. I'm pretty satisfied with how I how i spent the past two weeks, hopefully I'm able to stay consistent 🤞]

25.02.24// went to see priscilla yesterday and i absolutely loved it! i've read the book before (just as like 95% of all elvis-related things ever published) and i was really curious about how the movie turned out - it was even better than expected though!

last week at work really exhausted me, so i just chilled a bit which is always appreciated!

lunchtime bio and sushi / billy at sunset

04 FEBRUARY 2024 | 43/100 DAYS OF PRODUCTIVITY

woke up sooo late, but i was having a really weird dream that i can't remember the specifics of, but tom holland was in it as the antagonist

leftover sushi from last night for lunch while i finished a 75-question pset for physiology

went to choir practice for the cultural show i'm gonna be part of

sunday reset! went grocery shopping and am washing my sheets

now slogging away at the endless readings for my other classes

wearing a mask in public is an act of love!!

🎧: voulez-vouz - abba (best abba album, u can't change my mind) 📚: confederates in the attic - tony horwitz (26%); the body in pain - elaine scarry (9%) 

i had a friend make a joke about the "light reading" i'm doing, and she was so real for that, reading one book about neo-confederates and one about war/torture/pain is making for some real "light reading"
