Question

I really want to do well in school. I am in eighth grade but its still important to me. I pay attention in class and everything but when i get home to do my homework,i always put it off, even if i convince myself to do it, i find something else to do besides homework. HOW CAN I NOT PROCRASTINATE?

Answer 1

It's a simple little word called "discipline". You have to discipline yourself to do what needs to be done. It requires a commitment from you, and dedication to it. You can't just randomly choose to do your homework. You have to commit to doing it every day, consistently. It's easier if you pick a certain time to do it (at the same time) every day. If you want to take a break when you get home for an hour or so, fine. But choose a time that is best for you to take your break, and a time that works best for you to do your homework. If there's certain things you want to do, or certain shows you want to watch at a specific time every day, then set that time aside for your break time. Then, set aside a time when you are not involved in something else to devote to your homework. Like I said, it takes discipline. Without that, you will not be able to get this under control, and that could cause you a lot of problems as a result. If it really is important to you, like you say it is, then remind yourself of that every day and don't just forget about it when you walk in the door when you get home. School isn't over until your homework's done! And your homework has a lot to do with how well you will succeed... not only with your grades, but also in how you handle other responsibilities that come your way that require the same amount of initiative from you. It's up to you to make the commitment, and it's up to you to stick to it. It's not that hard to do once you set up a schedule that works for you. As a matter of fact, it will make your life a whole lot easier, and you'll feel a lot better about yourself!

set an alarm or something, and say at this time, i AM going to do this. when u find something else to do, think hmwrrk is more important

Answer 3

Do your homework immediately when you get home...Grab a snack and something to drink and get right down to it.....Just think, everything is still fresh in your mind, and if you do it right away, you will have the whole rest of your afternoon and evening to do whatever you please without having to think about your homework nagging you in the back of your mind....It works....try it.....my son is so used to doing it that way, I never have to even remind him to do his homework when he gets home...it is done and he gets to do whatever he wants afterwards.....good luck to you...

You should get an agenda (you probably get on in school) and write EVERYTHING down.

Set reminds on youre cell phone or something that go off if to remind you and dont turn it off until you do it.

Also, watch the movie, Pursuit of Happyness, it really showed me what I take advantage of and how important being smart can take you.
