A few months into the new school year, students may feel less excited about studies. This is normal as online or offline classes may lack the freshness of school. Experts say two types of motivation drive learning – internal and external. Internal motivation comes from genuine interest, while external focuses on results like good marks. The best students balance both. To stay motivated, make small decisions about study methods independently. Take breaks, stretch, limit social media time, and praise yourself after completing tasks. Parents' encouragement helps if given properly. Remember to find ways that inspire you to keep moving forward in your studies. (Updated 1 Oct 2025, 17:06 IST; source: link)
