In high school, it is very easy to forget about homework and play around the whole day, just to realize at 11PM that you had to write a 4 page paper. With new technology and social networks like Facebook, it is very easy nowadays to get distracted after coming home from school. Although there are many other things you may be busy with, like knitting, cooking etc., I will mostly be focusing on distractions from electronics in this post.
Here are some big steps you can take to make sure you don't get caught procrastinating on homework.
1. GET OFF OF FACEBOOK! I know it is very tempting to check your notifications, chats, etc. but this will prove to be very costly in your time. Just finish your homework quick and then you can go on Facebook all you want.
2. Make a rule to only play video games until after you finish homework. That way you'll feel better playing because you can play without worrying about homework.
3. Check your phone maybe once every 30 minutes or so. Unless you know it is an absolute emergency, the text sender can wait a little while. Although texting may seem like it only takes a few seconds at a time to do, it can keep you from fully focusing on homework the whole time.
4. Keep the TV off while you do homework. You may think that it's fine because you are a multi-tasker and can fully focus on both, it is ALWAYS a distraction and will slow you down on your homework.
5. If you think music will help you focus, then it should be okay. Make sure it is not loud distracting music though, keep it quiet and cool.
Keep your focus! Good Luck!
