Studying can be tedious; we have all been there and we understand. Studying consistently is one thing, but remaining steadfast throughout the session, however, is the real challenge. When working towards a goal in your studies, do not rely on motivation as it is inconsistent. Rather, focus on maintaining discipline!  

Motivation is a powerful driving force when it comes to studying. It can lift you out of a funk and convince you to stick your nose in a book. A burst of motivation can help you complete even the most menial of tasks. However, just like a tank of fuel, you can run out of motivation.  

Discipline on the other hand, is the practice of staying consistent in a routine. It is the ability to continue studying even if you want to do anything but. Distractions are but a foregone thought, and you keep the pace of studying until you are done for the day. This is why rather than banking on motivation alone as a reason to study, self-discipline is a more effective mindset to have.
