         <description><![CDATA[<p>I chose this video because it directly correlates to my topic of staying focused and motivated very closely. This video is very helpful to me because I do most of my homework at home, and I tend to struggle with my focus. This has been one of my biggest problems for years now, as I cannot seem to stay focused when I am at home instead of in a school environment. One tip from this video that I found very helpful is the rule of three, which includes choosing only three main tasks to focus on getting done. This is very helpful because it will help me focus on my main tasks instead of feeling drowned in a mountain of smaller tasks. This makes my goal of getting my tasks done seem far more achievable.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I chose this video both because it correlates to my main theme and because staying motivated is a very big problem for me. As this video explains, motivation levels are always high at the beginning of the semester, and then quickly begin to fall off. This is very true for me, as I feel that it becomes very hard to stay motivated when I am under a mountain of homework. As the semester progresses, I find myself experiencing a lot of burnout in school. This video gives many helpful tips for dealing with this such as truly paying full attention to a class, such as taking notes and asking questions. This makes it seem as if class goes by faster, and ultimately takes away most of the boredom you may feel during a long class period.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I chose this video because it correlates very well to my overall topic of staying focused and motivated. When it comes to staying focused, one of my biggest problems is becoming distracted by my phone. Instead of doing my homework, I often find myself wasting so much of my time scrolling on social media. This video was very helpful to me, as it helped me learn many strategies to help me stop wasting my time online. One strategy that I look forward to using is naming out every task I need to complete, and then giving myself a set amount of time that I need to complete that task within. This strategy will give me a set goal, keeping me focused on my work, instead of my phone.</p>]]></description>
