We all say, "I am going to do all my homework right when I get home." You know you're guilty of saying that. The problem with saying that is we need to follow through with what we say. Just saying something is completely different than actually doing it. To solve your problem, right when you step off of that bus, think about how you're going to start your homework right away. When you actually are in your house, don't let anyone get into your head and get you side tracked. When you get home you are going to set 5 minutes aside to wash up, maybe grab a quick snack and go straight into your room. Grab a piece of paper and list all of the things you need to do for the rest of your day but not studying. Make sure that your cell phone is off or on silent and away from you. Computers or any electronic devices should be out of your room or away from you. The key is to making this method work is to eliminate all kinds of distractions Unless you need to print something or write something on a computer. Once you have finished all of your homework, grab a second piece of paper and write everything you need to study. Even if you don't have a test in Math for example, write it down. It doesn't hurt to review your notes. Then write a specific time frame that you need to review or study something. For example, let's say I didn't have a math test anytime soon, I would still review my notes but only for 15 minutes. That's all. Ex) Math-5:15-5:30. By doing this, when you actually have a test coming up, you don't need to study for 2 hours, you might not even have to study for an hour because you have been reviewing every night anyway. This method should decrease your stress dramatically. I tried it and it works. Also, when it comes to projects, even if the due date is in 2 weeks, get ahead and start it! There is no reason to wait till the last minute.
