Autumn marks a crucial stage in the academic calendar. After the start of the academic year, it is common for the initial energy to begin to wane, and maintaining motivation becomes a challenge. It is essential to find strategies to help you maintain focus and determination in your studies during this season.
At Academia Guiu, we understand the importance of this period and we offer you tools and tips to help you get to the Christmas holidays with your academic goals on track.
1. Set clear and realistic goals
Setting specific goals for the autumn term can give you clear direction and purpose in your daily study. Setting achievable goals will allow you to measure your progress and keep you motivated.
For example, aiming to improve in a specific subject or completing a set number of weekly exercises can be a good start.
2. Create a structured study plan
Organising your time efficiently is key to staying motivated. Developing a study schedule that includes regular breaks and time for recreational activities can help you avoid burnout.
Remember that the quality of study is more important than the quantity of hours spent.
3. Use digital and technological resources
Taking advantage of digital tools can make studying more interactive and less monotonous. Educational apps, online learning platforms and multimedia resources can enrich your study experience.
At Academia Guiu, you can also take advantage of our online private classes, perfect for reinforcing content in a flexible way.
4. Seek support when you need it
You are not alone in this process. Having the support of teachers, tutors or classmates can provide you with different perspectives and solutions to your doubts.

5. Maintain a healthy lifestyle
Your physical and mental well-being directly influences your ability to concentrate and learn. Getting adequate sleep, eating well and engaging in regular physical activity are habits that can improve your academic performance.
In addition, practising relaxation and mindfulness techniques can help you manage study-related stress and anxiety.
6. Celebrate your achievements and progress
Recognising and celebrating your progress, however small, can reinforce your motivation. Rewarding yourself for achieving your goals gives you a sense of accomplishment and encourages you to keep striving.
Whether it’s taking a well-deserved break, enjoying an activity you love, or sharing your successes with friends and family, it’s important to value your dedication and effort.
7. Prepare for exams in advance
Anticipating assessments allows you to study calmly and thoroughly, reducing last-minute stress. Preparing well makes the difference between surviving exams and passing them successfully.
At Academia Guiu, we have a super-intensive preparation course for the Selectividad that reinforces your knowledge in record time.
8. Assess your level and adjust your strategy
Knowing your current level in different subjects allows you to identify areas for improvement and adapt your study plan accordingly. Periodic self-assessment will help you progress more strategically.
You can do this easily with tools such as our Spanish level test, useful if you are preparing for the Selectividad from abroad.
9. Maintain a positive and persevering attitude
The attitude with which you approach your studies significantly influences your performance. Cultivating a positive and resilient mindset helps you face any obstacle with more energy.
In autumn, when fatigue builds up, it’s more important than ever to remember why you started.
10. Don’t hesitate to ask for help
If you feel you need additional support, don’t hesitate to ask for help. At Academia Guiu, we are committed to your academic success and we accompany you with the resources you need to achieve it.
That is why, if you are preparing for the Selectividad from another country, our courses for the Selectividad UNED are designed for you, with personalised support. And if you have any doubts, you can contact us here.
