maybe make a deal with yourself that you won't watch TV until your homwork's done

but im also a procrastinator LOL

Force yourself. Sit at a table with your homework and don't get up until it's all finished.

get together with some of your friends or people you have in class so that way studying/homework is more fun and you actually get it done lol. good luck!

I have the same problem when i get together with my friends, we wind up hanging out and never touching the work. sorry but I have no idea how to concentrate on homework, so and tips wuld be helpful for me too.

yeah i have the same problem. I'm more of a procrastinator now then I was last yr. You could try making a schedule for yourself and organize some free time and hw time. That might work. But I remember always telling myself "dont put off what you can do today for tomorrow". Cause when you think about it..if you do your hw now then you'll have more free time (sortof). But you gotta be strict with yourself...the schedule might work if your a schedule type of person. Or you could just unplug all your electronics (stereo, tv, computer..whatever) so that they dont distract you. Bah...I dunno what I'm talking about. I should be doing hw right now

Decide what TV shows you dont want to miss, when you want to sleep, what time will you be out of school etc...

Make yourself a timetable... Make sure you organise stuff you want to do... and give yourself 5 minute (something like that) break between subjects... stick to your timetable...

Even better (Im thinking of doing this one) if you live at home, stick your time table somewhere where everyone in your family could see... and tell them they can get xxx if they caught you not doing what you're supposed to do...

Thats strict... but it works for me, sometimes.

I'm a horrible procrastinator and even worse at studying. The way I deal with it is: if you don't want to miss your shows, you can schedule your work around your shows or tape them and watch 'em when you're all done.

For the studying itself I get distracted really easily so I have to go to a room or place where I don't have access to a tv or comp. If you have to type something, just grit your teeth and remember not to go on the internet.



Not sure if it'll help but s'worth a try

I'm terrible at doing homework...I have so many assignments and Im so behind in all my subjects. I just don't push myself to work. I hate pushing myself to do anything...I hate the stress.

I'm a terrible procrastinator...I just do whatever I feel like doing...whether I need to or not.



I suggest for myself (and others too) to say one evening: I am going to work for half an hour on this subject and then take a break...maybe increase the time as days go by.

That way I have something to show for myself.

it really comes down to self dicapline. (sp?) but u just have to do it. do u have anyways u could make ot more fun like doing it at the library with a friend or maybe by the lake with a friend? those are just some ideas.
