In school, I try to do good, but I have a bad habit of not turing in homework. I have troubles just sitting down and doing it, even though when I do get it done, it feels good.
Self control and discipline are just like a muscle in your body. In order to tone it you must work on it over and over again. Nobody just wakes up one day and HAS good study habits! --- but you can develop them! Here are some pointers or things to try:
1. Set up a space that is just for doing homework and studying. DO NOT let it be where you sleep, eat, or do anything else that might trigger "distraction".
2. Set up a schedule so that at a certain time of day your mind will already start gearing up to start studying. Make this routine and try not to study/do homework for more than an hour at a time.
3. In the beginning just tell yourself- "Okay, I am going to work on this for just 10 minutes and if still can't concentrate then I will let myself go do something else..." This technique works b/c the hardest thing about doing homework and studying is just STARTING.
Other than that- know when your "peak hrs" are- Like are there certain times of the day you feel more alert than others?
If this doesn't solve your problem you may want to seek out a class on study habits... many schools and communities offer them--- Also some professional places like Sylvan learning centers. Just keep in mind that the habits you form now will only help or hinder you more in college.
Psh home work burn it up burn that sucker up right now BURN UP THAT MOTHERFUCJKER RIGHT NOW LET IT BURN
i do the same thing. mine keeps getting worse though, despite everything i do. i want to do my homework, i really do! but it's like my min won't let me. i could sit down and stare at my page of homework for hours with a pencil in hand and i still wouldn't be able to lower the led to fill in the simple blanks with the easy answer that came naturally. it is really annoying too, because i hate getting in trouble. ><
have the same thing.. just gotta say: ok fuck it , im gonna make my homework and not gonna do anything else until im done.
btw this is so hypocritical because i srsly have this important test tomorrow and should be studying like crazy right now..
Classic procrastinator. You know what you need to do. But we all do & kind of resist it. Just for the hell of it. Don't too much though.
actually sometimes you can't do it and it's impossible, well for me it is. so don't hate yourself not for doing it, and just do it when you can.
