This is from a blog on Planet of Success; by Steve Mueller.
I wanted to put up some of the important tips for goal setting, rewarding yourself and to get into your studies.

#Goal setting
◇Write down your goals
◇ Avoid vagueness, negations and necessities
◇Split complex goals into main targets and sub-goals
◇ State how you intend to achive your goal
◇ Visualize the accomplishment of your objective and what it feels like
◇Gratification; reward yourself once the goal is reached.

#Rewarding yourself
◇Set the goal & determine an appropriate reward for its accompaniment
◇Associate the efforts you take with the positive rewards
◇Ambitious challenges require outstanding rewards
◇Basic objectives should only be rewarded slightly
◇Do not allow yourself to receive a reward if you fail
◇Reward yourself subsequently after achieving a goal.

#Just Get Studying
◇"Force" yourself to do 15-20 Minutes of study to begin
◇Don't agonize yourself by picturing the alternatives to studying
◇Try not to procrastinate
◇The more you focus on your task, the faster you're finished
◇Imagine the negative consequences of prolonging studying
◇If you're tired, get up and jump on the spot, take a shower (I recommend a 10 minute cat nap)
◇Prevent distractions (TV, Internet, Email, Telephone, Smart phone (or the cutie next door))

My idea of what I would be learning through this course is much different to the structure I am going through. I expected to learn about art history and writing essays, what else would a Bachelor in Art present, but i expected to do more media and art forms as material substances. My view of the course was one of simple straight-forward artistic exercises. I didn't expect to learn of cultures, formal writings or historical figures. My Mind is more wanting of stimulus in modern day designs, history was never strong with me unless I took a deep interest. I was expecting more digital designing, artistic expressions and, be it simple, less writing. I feel conflicted in my results thus far in what I have completed, I am passing, but feel that I am out of my depth. I must continue if i am ever going to find my purpose or passion.

I am stuck in a sinkhole of self doubting, holding onto a line that may save me or break me

Start with your work space. There is no doubt that there is a link between a messy desk and a messy head. In fact, a survey by print company Brother found that 40 percent of workers admitted that an untidy workspace made them less productive. So, leaving work with a tidy desk is going to help you feel a  lot more prepared to hit the ground running when 2018 rolls around. Here’s where to start:
Visualise a life with a tidy desk.  Imagine what working would be like without all that mess. This will motivate you to act.
Identify the essentials.  What absolutely needs to be on your desk for you to do your job? Everything else is unnecessary.
Create spaces for things you need. Everyone loves stationary! Try implementing an in-tray and out-tray system, or check out new desktop organiser.
If you don’t use it ditch it. Take one item at a time on your desk and ask yourself when you last used it.  If it wasn’t this week pack it away. If it wasn’t this year, ditch it.
Tackle paperwork. Paper is your enemy.  Attack it. File it. Scan it. Recycle it.
Do the same for your computer. Emails and files build up very fast and now is a good time to start streamlining your folders.
