➊ It's possible to get your homework done even if you have a busy schedule - if you decide in advance what you have to do. On Sunday or Monday, jot down your activities for the upcoming week in a notebook and then include a time for homework for each day. ➋ Buy a folder for each of your classes. Divide it into three sections: notes, homework, and tests. Always put papers in the correct section.
➌ Forget about doing your homework in front of the TV. Find a quiet place that's well-lit, where you can concentrate without getting distracted.
➍ You won't get any work done if you're hungry. Your brain needs energy to work effectively! Drink plenty of water, and snack on some fruit or cookies to get more strength.
➎ Begin with your best subject. Your success will give you a feeling of satisfaction that will help you deal with your weaker subjects later.
➏ If you've started your Science homework, finish it! Don't leave one part of your homework unfinished to start another – you may not remember all those Chemistry formulas when you come back.
➐ Take at least a five-minute break when you feel tired. The rest will re-energise you so you'll be able to finish your work.
➑ Homework is rarely an exciting thing to do. But it's your top priority, and you have to get it done, Accepting this fact will help you deal with homework effectively.
