How to stay focused with school work?

Question

I'm having problems staying focused with my school work. All of my classes are online but whenever I get on the computer to do work I end up going to Y!A or just surfing around. I end up wasting do much time and I never get anything done. It's not that the work is really hard for me, I get all A's I just can't stay focused. Any tips on how to focus?

Please don't say I should go to regular school or I have ADD/ADHD.

Answer 1

Just keep telling yourself to "stop and try to finish your classes first then go on YA!"

    I wonder how internet school is?  

Answer 2

Keep in mind why you are taking on line courses and the outcome once you graduate.  Also, if you are paying for these coursed, that is a good reason to stay focused. Don't you have a certain amount of time to complete each course.  Just make a commitment to yourself that you are going to stay focused and keep it.  

Answer 3

I've experienced online classes too and yes it is hard to stay focused. Just set rules for yourself. Devote a time slot just for you and your school work. Self discipline plays a huge part. Just gotta say to yourself "Okay self, i need to get  this done then i can play the rest of the time or else i'm going to be behind and i'll get stressed"
