Answer 2

There's no remedy to staying focused, and I doubt anyone on this website can provide you with a solution.  The only thing I can say - not at all the answer to your question - is that some people are natural procrastinators (nothing to help you with that).  Some people work better under pressure.  Unfortunately if you're a procrastinator and don't work well under pressure, you're screwed.  Try to have a goal in mind when you start an assignment or establish a reward for staying focused.  If you have a class that requires a large amount of reading, reward yourself by saying "if I read for an hour without stopping, I'll buy myself a candy bar."  Don't buy the candy bar if you haven't done the reading (kind of an honesty policy), and try to work your way from reading one hour to three hours straight.  Good luck.

Well first, do your homework right after you come home from school! Make sure you are in a room were there isn't much things for you to do when your inside, but if your house is to noisy, go to a library, ask them to stop being to noisy, or just go some where else! Don't take any breaks! When I usually take a 1-5 minute break, I find my self playing for a VERY LONG time! Usually, before I do my homework, I tell everyone in the house, I am doing it, and warn them to be quiet!

Second, get a snack and a drink, and put it near you when you are doing your homework, (not to close or it might spill!) I use to always do the hungry excuse and I would stop doing my homework to get a snack, and when I get a snack, I always find my self watching TV while eating! So make sure you have that in handy just in case! Some useful snacks are rasins, fruits, and vegtables! No junk food! For drinks, water or juice will be fine!

Third, turn off everything! TV is off, computer is off, cell phone is off! But if you don't wish to turn things off, then just on the computer, log off instead of being on it off so it's still on when you come back to it when you are done. Close your laptop. Cell phone can be on silent, just make sure you aren't on it for to long and leave it alone! If you have a regular home phone, just let someone else pick it up!

Fourth, turn distractions, into homework! If you find your self talking to someone, turn it into talk about homework and school. If you are watching TV then turn to a educational channel. And internet, you can only use if you are looking up things for homework! If your homework includes computers, ask people questions, or anything that can easly get you distracted again, do them last!

Fifth, do your homework! After you come home from school and finsh all the steps. If you find your self thinking of playing and taking a break, think of it this way! When you finish your homework, you have the rest of the day doing what ever you want to do! When I'm doing my home work I always tell my mom I am having a break, I play then do homework, next thing I know, the whole day I am doing my home work, with a little bit of play time!

Doing your homework right after school is better than later at night. While your playing all day, you may forget things that happened in class. Then, you you start your homework, you may forget a couple of things. If you do it right when you get home from school, you will most likely to finish easily.

Fact: When your trying to concentrate, your really not concentrating. Just relax and do the work, don't force your brain, it won't do anything. When I was trying to remember what happened in class and tryed to concentrate, it didn't work. In the middle of the day when I was watching TV, it came to me and I remembered.

Well, it works differently for different people, but for me, listening to music while doing homework helps me get it done. Im not sure why, i think cause it gets rid of people to distract me.

Other than that there is no cure. Keep a booklet that has all assignments and due dates. This way you won't forget.  

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
