okay so im one of those ppl who can't sit still and have no like drive to start doing their homework. i've sharpened my pencils, cooked myself spaghetti, made myself a cup of cocoa, watched a litte tv, went on yahoo answers to help with my homework and then somehow ended on youtube.... im a mess. Any tips to get me glued the chair and keep me focused on my homework? i don' t think im getting ANYWHERE!!! please im desperate.

Study for 10 minutes while listening to music without words. Like the Matrix..make sure its without words. Then, for 5 minutes go on you tube or watch tyra for 5 minutes. Stick to this though. If 5 minutes feel to little... do a 15 minuete study, then 8 to 10 minutes of what you want to do.

The great thing about this, is its good to take your mind off homework because then when you go back to it you have to remember what you learned. Just like taking a test. Its a better method.


I did this and found sometimes the music without words would even make 10 minutes feel like 20 minutes sometime. When this happens take a little longer rest brake.

If you feel like this would make homework too long. Then do the following

listen to music but after 10 minutes do some push ups or sit ups to get the blood flowing. Then sit down and study again. Keep doing this. Also, open the windows to keep fresh air in. But rotate. Dont leave it open because its good to stimulate yourself with fresh air. So close it after 10 minutes then open it after being closed for 10 minutes. Also, walk around for 5 minutes while studying. Just walk around in your room when it comes to memorizing things or thinking of concepts. You can talk out loud about the concepts while walking really helps.

Just keep it active because if you feel closed in, then you need other stimulation. These are just a few. Find what works for you.

I'M WATCHING TYRA RIGHT NOW LOL.

yeahh, homework, it sucks! but if you look at the sections before entering that section, your knowledge of that section will be higher than everyone elses. Take time to study. Depending how old you are, ask your parents for some type of incentive. I am assuming you are in high school, so how about more time out at night? A later curfew? Higher allowance? those are all things that help me.

Well I know for studying to keep me concentrated, I study for half an hour, the take a ten minute break. I keep repeating it till I am done. Maybe that will help.

I sometimes have the same problems .
Do it in an empty room, with a good desk and lighting
organise everything and makesure there are no disctractions ...
then do your hmwrk

Do it before you come home - either at school or in the library or somewhere.
Then your evening will be your own to fritter away as you want.
