You'll watch an entire Netflix show even when the first episodes are slow and boring just because someone told you "it gets better." *But what if you looked at your goals like that and watched your life get better instead?*

I feel like making studying aesthetic can also make you more inspired to learn and study. For example, I switched my backpack to a pretty one and started putting enamel pins and keychains on it, and now whenever I see it it makes me want to pick it up and use what's inside. I also like studying in nature on a picnic blanket instead of locking myself in my room at my desk because it relaxes me more when the subject is tough or boring. Using a pretty hw agenda or bullet journal is another thing. I also love fantasy, so pretending that some classes are magical (ex. Chemisty is potion making) helps me feel less bored in the subject. Hope this helps!
