What can I say to my classmate who posted this:

Question

I motivate myself by saying each assignment is one thing closer to my future career. I have always struggled with trying to get work done or finishing a assignment. I try to go into a quiet room and play soft music very lightly and start working on whatever assiments i need to get done that day it usually helps me focus a little better.

Answer 1

You could respond with something supportive and encouraging, like:

"That’s a great mindset! It's really inspiring that you connect your assignments to your future career. I can definitely relate to struggling with motivation sometimes. Finding a quiet space and playing soft music sounds like a smart strategy! Have you found any specific playlists or types of music that work best for you? I’d love to hear more about how that helps you focus!"

This response acknowledges their experience and opens the door for further conversation.
