How do you motivate yourselves to do homework?

<p>I'm asking primarily because I'm procrastinating right now and trying to entice myself into doing homework by flashing by a photo of this really yummy cake every so often and not letting myself read the recipe until I finish my Psych homework.</p>

<p>So. What do you guys do? Carrot or stick? (I guess that in my case, the stick is the threat of not getting enough sleep tonight, but to be honest, that stick lost its effectiveness a looong time ago.)</p>

<p>Good question… It’s nearly 10 and I still haven’t started any work. The stick for me, probably. I can usually only get cracking once I look at the time and realize that “oh ****, I should have finished my work hours ago… maybe I should start some of it now at 1 am”. Screw my lack of willpower.</p>

<p>I don’t. More often then not I say screw it and finish things up during class.</p>

<p>For me, getting started on hw later at night is somewhat difficult, so the nights when I get home late, I don’t do that much. If I start at around 6-7 pm, I can just steamroll through work. But yeah getting started is really hard haha</p>

<p>Free time is a lot more fun when you don’t have homework in the back of your mind.</p>
