Dealing with Homework

""Nothing is more powerful for your future than being a gatherer of good ideas and information. That's called doing your homework.""

- -Jim Rohn

Ah yes, homework. You know, the thing teachers give students to practice...

Some people enjoy it, while most don't. So here are some tips to deal with it or get it over with.

Tips:

 * Listen to music. Listening to music is a great thing to do. Usually coffee music or just lofi beats are the best! Another good song to listen to is Coconut Mall. No kidding! It really helps! It also helps to listen to mediation or study music as well.


 * Organize your homework. Keep all your homework in order from most important to least important and hardest to least hard. That way, you'll know which one(s) to start first!


 * Take breaks. Doing everything in one go is really hard, and it might make you frustrated. Taking small breaks will help you relax and be less stressed while doing homework.


 * Do it in small parts. If your homework isn't due the next day, you can split it up within the days you have to complete it so that you won't have too much work to do in one day.


 * Start it early. It's easy to put off homework, and while it might seem like a good idea at the time to do so, it's better for you in the long run if you get it over with quickly. (Especially if it's a project or a big assignment!)


 * Ask questions about it in class. If you don't understand the material, it really helps to ask about it in class! If you don't do that and you don't understand the homework, doing it can be hard and stressful. An alternative to this can be looking at the material if your teacher posts it online, or looking at videos about the topic.


 * Get motivation. Getting motivation to do homework can be harder than it sounds, and it can be different for everybody! For some people, it's looking at motivational quotes. For others, it can be getting motivation from family members or friends. Once you find what motivates you, I'd suggest doing it whenever you feel like putting the homework off.
