Sometimes internships or unpaid internships can seem tedious with little activities to do or a lot of busy work, so here are some reminders for how to stay motivated at your next or current internship!
1. Set a goal for each day
When you find out your daily activities, figure out a way to either accomplish something by the end of each day or to improve in a category.
2. Have other work to do
Writing on your own or working on your projects during slow periods can help you feel like you are being productive.
3. Help with the little things
Sometimes filling your time with little activities to help your supervisor or others in the office can not only keep you busy, but also lighten their workload.
4. Take everyday one step at a time
Try not to think about the total hours you are working in a day, but more about what you will be doing within each time period and how you can do it your best.
5. Network
Internships are meant to help you learn new skills and get to know people in the industry you are working in, so getting to know other members of the company can help you with current or future jobs.
