Homework can be boring. Perhaps you are taking classes that do not interest you. Been there. In this case, duel it out and get it over with, finish the class, and you'll never have to do it again.\n\nIt's also possible that you may have an attention deficit disorder. If you think so, talk to your school nurse, or a Dr.

try resting one leg on a med. sized table and one on the ground, dont force your self to go down, just drop you body weight, if it gets to uncomfortable just stop.

Start with something you like, like walking.  build up slowly, don't try any heroic routines that will cause you to crash and burn right out of the gate.  If you focus on stuff you enjoy doing, it won't feel like such a struggle and you won't dread doing it.  Good luck!

You lack motivation. The soulution is not more discipline or forcing yourself to move , but to find something you really like, something that motivates you.

Try to take the stress out of your day.  It is the only way that I have ever found that actually works.  I make a big to-do list and then work at it all day so by night time I don't have a whole bunch of projects lingering over my head that I think about instead of sleeping.

perhaps refreshen your study room, brighten it up with bright paint, clear out the debris, open the windows, let in fresh air, take a quick shower, set yourself a break time before you get stressed, have a buddy to call you for 'keeping on track'...reward yourself, listen to positive motivation tapes in free time, take up a a new sport for boosting energy,...and talk things out with a counsellor perhaps...might be something there troubling you, choose uplifting music in the background and even splash some Bach flower remedies and aromas around, to clear the head and to revitalize you.  don't get down about things, you'r doing a great job....and hey!! its okay to work with a buddy too....find more buddies and have a different one each night...that makes each one, one a week, and is not tying them down monotonously.

One of the most important thing is to organize it, decide how much time u will spend in each activity u want to get done. Get an agenda it might help you.

start slowly, why dont you have motivation? is there a medical condition you have to deal with first?  Some people aren't motivated or don't feel passionate if they feel unhappy about something.  Buy a book on exercise and do one exercise a night each day, it only takes a few minutes.  build up slowly when you feel you have more stamina.  As with painting, that does take time and passion.  I have just started back painting myself.  I used to draw all the time when i was younger and did a art course.  Though when you start working, get married etc, you feel other things take up your time.  First of all get the materials you need, go to your local art shop and they will help you. I did this and felt great getting all new art materials. this motivated me to start painting. I did an abstract, turned out quite well considering it was my first abstract. I used modelling compound to buld up the surface and create texture, i got some leaves and pressed it into the compound to create an imppression of the leaves, then painted over it.  If you experiment it becomes fun then your motivation will come back

wel....it sounds like you are lazy. im just being for real, if you want something bad enough you are gonna have to work at it or suffer the consequences. if being threatened to move ist motivation enough then nothing is...but lucky for you im lazy too so here are my study tips.\n\n* you retain best if you study RIGHT BEFORE you go to sleep, somehow sleeping locks it in your brain.\n* use index cards to right down the basic, important stuff and keep those with you so you can look at them during the day wherever you are\n* come up with memonic devices to help you study like associating things with things (like humours bone- funny- funny bone or pensicola, pepsi cola ect)\n* reward yourself so you will reach for it. I often say Ill give myself a new outfit, trip someowhere, whatever\n* record lectures on tape and when yo get home type out the important stuff\n*if you write down the notes in class, type out the important stuff on your computer when you get home, its like a review, it jogs your memory\n\ngood luck :)

Stay away from the people who are bumming you out. You have to put the most important things to do in your life first! Try to stay away from the things that stress you out. as far as the environment change it if you can. I hope this helps. keep motivated by doing things that you enjoy. if not all the time, most of the time. And if you have to many things going on your best bet is to eliminate some lesser thing you do not need to do.

I'm in the same situation as you.  I think you have to take matters into your own hands, but that requires motivation.  And the lack of motivation is where I'm stuck at right now.  Sorry, this isn't much help.  But I just want to let you know that there are other people who have the same problems.

Believe me.  you just have to force yourself to do it.  It may not be fun(heck, hw is rarely fun) or easy to do the first few times but after a while just doing your homework becomes easier to manage.  It also helps later when you get more homework and end up working from 3pm until midnight.  \n\nWrite a schedule for yourself, allotting a certain amount of time for each subject and leaving space in between homework to take a break.

Keep a to-do list electronically so that you can constantly re-prioritize it. Print it out first thing in the morning, and keep it in your sight all day. Don't be afraid to put small tasks on the list. It will help you feel like you're accomplishing more during the day. Cross off tasks as you finish them and update the electronic copy at the end of the day.\n\nIf you need an hour or more to work on something, schedule the time on your calendar so that no one schedules a meeting for you. This also helps you keep yourself on track. Put aside other tasks (unless they're urgent, of course), and concentrate on that one project for the time you've scheduled. It really helps.

Well after reading your interpretation of what’s going on in your life I can see why you don't get anything done.\nIt's all about attitude and the way you interpret your life. \n\n"There is just too much going on right now"\n\nThis sentence is negative in its very nature.  You have created this world you live in inside your head that there is just too much going on right now! So before you can even take a moment to think about what is important to you or what you have time to do, you have already determined that there is no time to do anything.\n\n"My teachers don't seem to understand." \n\nAgain that's your own story you made up in your head about what you think your teachers are thinking about you and your problems.  Don't worry about how they interpret your excuses, they don't get paid to listen to excuses and make exceptions for people who don’t do what expected of them.\nNo offence, but if you work was done that would not even be in the equation. So lets focus on the problem (not doing your home work) - not the reaction you get from your teachers when your problem happens.\n\n"I try to do my work, but every time something comes up" \n\nUsing words like "every time" is only painting a more negative picture about the scenario, I'm sure that "every time" you have ever tried to do your home work something has come up - is not true. So that again is something you made up and are drowning yourself in your own obstacles and justifying why you’re not getting your work done.\n\n"I just can’t seem to find the time to complete it."\n\nOk, this is a classic excuse. Solution: Write down every thing you do find the time to do, and ask your self if these tasks are more important than completing your home work. I think you’ll find you have alot more time than you thought.  But then again maybe homework is just not important to you. But I will bet the rewards associated with the completion your homework will out weigh the temporary feeling of complacency and laziness.\n\nThe bottom line is...\n\nDon't be so dramatic, ask your self what's important to you and prioritize your time.  And if homework is not important enough to make time for... then I will have a 1/4 ponder with cheese please and an extra large coke!!!\n\n: )

Work on it as much as possible, as soon as possible. If you have other friends that have the same problem, make it a group project to clean and organize each other's stuff. Or hire someone to help, if you have no motivation. The sooner you take care of it, the better off you'll be. Get rid of everything you don't need. Make it a project.Get yourself a gift for each step you take.

For starters, never do anything which you are not motivated to do or is incompatible with you for whatever reason.\n\nIdentify any motivations, thoughts or habits you have that prevent you, identify their cause and eliminate or mitigate them.\nOr conversely, don't do something you're not motivated to to, if you're heart's not in it - but understand why.\nOr find creative ways to motivate yourself (divide the task into manageable chunks, track progress in a visible way, monitor progress, enlist a friend, give yourself rewards etc.)
