How do you get motivated to do your homework?

<p>yeahh but we both will im sure. haha.</p>

<p>Between 3 sports, school clubs, and Boy Scouts I rarely start homework until 9 or 10 each night. Sometimes later. This year I was lucky in that I seldom had homework in more than Spanish and Trig. My physics class he only gave homework that was due (originally two weeks later; he got to the point where he'd assign homework, wouldn't tell us it was on the board, and then expect it due 3 days later) not each day. English we never had assignments daily. History we had optional homework so I never did any homework in that class all year.</p>

<p>My schedule typically looks like this...</p>

<p>School til 2:45
Football practice (fall) til 6
Basketball practice (winter) til 5 OR 5-7
Baseball practice (spring) til 5:30</p>

<p>Clubs typically met during Activity period (2:20-2:45 most Wednesdays) or at 7:15 in the morning</p>

<p>Boy Scouts 7:00-8:30</p>

<p>This spring I had a stint of 6 weeks where it was 9:30-10:00 before I got home from school on Monday nights! Baseball game at 4:15 so bus left at 3. Come back for ACT Prep class 7-9 and then go get something to eat.</p>

<p>How do you all have one or two hours of homework? I start my homework at three and usually finish around two in the morning at the earliest.</p>

<p>11 hours???? yeahhh ur doing something wrong.</p>

<p>Actually no...I do get a lot of homework and it takes a long time.</p>

<p>how do i get motivated to do my hwk?
i don't. hahaha. i've done a couple (literally 2 or 3) projects at home this year. the rest i don't do or do in school. my time is MIIIIIINE.</p>

<p>(....college is gonna suck! lol!)</p>

<p>3:15 - Get home, Eat, Watch TV
4:00 - 5:00 - Do something relaxing...like reading or listening to music.
5:00 - 8:00 - Do HW. To stay motivated, I give myself little pep talks in my head (sounds crazy but it works) or think about what EXCITING things I'll be able to do after I finish.
8:00 - 11:00 - Do/plan something EXCITING for the night (or for tomorrow...)
11:00 = Bedtime.</p>

<p>thinking about what EXCITING things I'll be able to do after I finish acually hinders my efficiency. It's all in your head; to stay motivated, you gotta like hw. One way to like it is to tell yourself over and over again that you like homework until it is in your subconcious.</p>

<p>It sounds wierd, but it works. And it works with everything.</p>

<p>well for me it's more like 'okay finish this and you are FREE!!'</p>

<p>getiting good grades matters to me, believe it or not. :)</p>

<p>tangytart, ur doing something wrong. do u do any activities or is ur life just homework alll dayyy?</p>

<p>I used to swim till this semester when things really piled up and I was getting no sleep what so ever. Eleven hours of homework doesn't always happen. Sometimes I get six or nine but maybe 3/4 of the time its a ton.</p>

<p>WOW. I do homework in less than an hour typically. And yes, that is with a nearly full Honors schedule too.</p>

<p>I do it in class so there is seldom a need to be motivated to do the work at home. Usually panic serves well if study is needed prior to a test, particularly one that pertains to a large part of my grade.</p>

<p>Computer and homework at the same time, which sort of works.. for some odd reason.
Except.
Except math. Omg it's so hard. I tell myself I need to but a lot of the times I don't really do it =&lt;/p>

<p>I feel the same way as you, aninstance. I dread math and when I don't feel like doing it, I tell myself that my grades will go down if I don't.</p>

<p>Well... I have 1-2 hours of regular homework per subject per night, so if I guess motivation for doing work it to finish it all and be able to get some sleep? Actually, it seems like all day I'm either in class, in the car, eating meals really quickly, or doing some form of work. Exciting life, haha...</p>

<p>I Get majority of my hw done in class between End of periods(teachers usually end class a little early..) Study hall and lunch. for club we have a period designated for clubs...its literally 1-7 period plus lunch and Homeroom which r shorter plus 8th period which is specifically for tutorial or Clubs.
School gets out at 3:10 i get home btw 3:30-3:40 and I have a snack
from then on till i have either piano or someother appointment Im on the computer. TThen from 6:00-7-ish i do my hw..(most of the appointments r far away so its give and takee) then i take a shower and at around 8 oclock theres usually a tv show i like to watch.</p>

<p>class starts in 5 minutes!!!!! HOLY CRAP!!!</p>

<p>adrenaline rush is just great for motivation</p>

<p>Ummmmm......get out homework.....<em>procrastination</em>....reading stuff online....<em>procrastination</em>....visit CC....<em>lightbulb</em>...OH CRAP MUST DO HOMEWORK TO GET A TO GET INTO COLLEGE!</p>
