<p>When I am working on things that I like, such as math or science, I can concentrate for hours on end. However, when it comes to things like history or english, it's hard for me to concentrate for more than 15 minutes or so. Especially if I have to write English or history papers, it makes it very difficult. Any advice on this, as well as any other time management tips? A lot of days, I am not able to begin my homework until 9:00.. Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>edit: also what helps me concentrate is writing in cursive. My normal handwriting is absolutely terrible. My cursive is 100x better than my normal writing, so I just write in cursive now. It also makes everything 10 times more fun.</p>

<p>Lets you block specific websites (whichever ones you designate, or you can block all sites) for a certain amount of time (from 12 min to 12 hours). You can’t shut it off once you’ve started it, and closing down the application, shutting down your computer, or using another browser won’t work. In essence, there’s no way to get around it. You can’t go on fb or email or youtube or whatever, so you HAVE to do your work. I highly recommend it.</p>
