How to do homework

Steps

  1. Write down your homework from each course/subject in an agenda book or planner. If you don't have an agenda or planner, write it in a notebook or a sheet of loose leaf. (Make sure not to lose it!) Write as many details as you can about the assignment. You must include when the assignment is due, any necessary textbook pages, and things your teacher says you must include. It's a good idea to write approximately how long you think the assignment will take. It sounds silly, but is quite effective for planning.
    document.write('google_protectAndRun("render_ads.js::google_render_ad", google_handleError, google_render_ad);
  2. Find a location to do your homework. Before choosing a specific work place, pick a quiet place where you can work for a long time while having access to resources such as textbooks, computers, books, dictionaries, encyclopedias, etc.- whatever is necessary. Good locations include your town or school library.
  3. Choose a quiet work place, with space to spread out your work. Make sure your work is organized. Don't pile it too high, and don't spread it all over the place. The idea is to convince yourself you don't have very much to do. You will work your hardest when you feel as if you have just a little bit more to go. Also, to protect your eyes, make sure you have a good light. While some experts say to sit in a hard straight back chair, that might not be the best option for you. Don't make homework time feel terrible, because that will lead to excessive procrastination, and while some procrastination is healthy, too much will lead to that dreaded choice of homework or social life. A good chair will be one where you won't fall asleep, but you also won't be constantly thinking about the pain in your back.
  4. Concentrate on one task at a time. Once you have completed an assignment, be sure to check it off.
  5. Take a study break. Set a specific amount of time you will spend every hour doing something besides homework and stick to it. Be sure you set how long after the start of the hour and how long you will take. Don't give yourself an extension ever. Even if you just do it once, it will be so much easier to do again.
  6. If you have no time for a long break, take quick five minute breaks. During these five minutes, jump around a little and do a quick jog, get a glass of water, and grab a quick snack. Running and jumping will clear your mind and increase blood flow. The water and the snack will refresh you, so you'll be ready to attack more of that dreaded work.
  7. Spend the time right after your study breaks wisely. These are the times you will be able to work the best. Your mind will be cleared and ready to work. Anything you put in the second document, do now. Once you have finished your studying and have genuinely attempted the peskier tasks at least 3 or 4 times, you can consider yourself finished. Anything you haven't finished, can wait until the next day when you will be able to ask your teacher or fellow students.
  8. If you have a backlog of work and are having difficulty, explain to your teachers that you've fallen behind and ask for an extension. You might want to take in some of your work as proof that you are working, i.e. your first draft.
