Slackness explained
Begin by understanding why you've lost momentum in the first place. Here are some of the main offenders:
- Lack of focus - long-term goals, like graduating, don't register;
- Lack of interest - your coursework leaves you cold;
- Lack of drive - you're not good at working under your own steam.
Other factors can include stress, depression, the break-up of a relationship, or problems with drink or drugs. Highlight what's holding you back, then take steps to overcome the situation.
