Headline: January Reset: How I’m Staying Motivated This Term 📆✨ Content:

Record a short, reflective video about how you’re entering the new term with motivation. Discuss how you're setting goals or organising your studies after the break. This is your version of a “reset” — no pressure to be perfect, just honest and useful.

Key Messaging (Ideas to include):

What mindset are you starting the term with?
What routines, tools, or habits are helping you stay on track?
Share a specific goal for this term (academic, personal or well-being)
How are you making things feel manageable and motivating?

🧲 Suggested Video Hooks (Lead with a Question):

“Starting the new term and already overwhelmed?”
“Need a January reset? Here’s how I’m doing mine…”
“How are you staying motivated this term?”
“Trying to stay organised in 2026? Same. Here’s my plan…”
“What’s one small change you’re making this term?”

🎥 Filming Tips – Make It Visually Interesting:

Record in your room, library, and workspace
Show visuals of your planner, calendar, or to-do list
Mix talking to the camera with clips of your environment
Use movement (e.g. packing your bag, making coffee, setting up your desk)

Goal:

To encourage students to reflect on their routines, feel motivated for the new term, and share relatable ways to stay on track at ARU London.
