Think of doing your homework as doing a job:\n    When you do your job, you get paid. After you get paid, then you can go out and have fun.\n     Conversely, when you do your homework, you get a reward. - You can get on the computer and have fun.  \n     But don't try to put the cart before the horse.  There are too many temptations to prevent you from getting your homework done.

keep a timetable ...study for some time and then take a break..keep goals...if you achieve it ...reward yourself...keep realistic goals...

what i found that helps, is take notes.... even if you don't want to... or, an alternate, though i don't do it, bring a notebook, and halfpay attention, half work on some work,/homewrok/ doodle... whatever keeps your mind moving.... it'll look like you're playing attention. I reccomend talkig notes though... they'll help later.

Try to focus on something healthy like jogging, studying, cooking, reading.  Keeping a journal also helps.

depending on the type of work you do...keep a stack of papers on your desk, and if someone happens by, start shuffling the papers, like you're looking for a particular sheet, or pretend to be reading one, maybe even use a highlighter, and mumble to yourself (but loud enough for someone walking by to hear) about how much work you have to do yet today....

BE ORGANIZED... make your TO-DO list... be disciplined enough to follow it... prioritize... identify the stuffs that are the most important... if its time to work, WORK... don't linger... don't deviate from your schedules... then award yourself when you finally meet the deadline... give yourself a pat in the shoulder and treat yourself to a spa... or simple pleasures in life... like a quality time with your gf/bf, an ice cream... chocolates... or a nice, uninterrupted sleep... GOODLUCK!

usually what I do is go through the main points of each chapter as well as key words and write them down as questions on note cards.  Then have the answer on the other side.  Go through all the cards twice.  Then re-read all of those key words and their definitions as well as the key points in context, to myself, then out loud.  It not only stimulates your brain's listening but its vision as well. Then when you see that word or phrase a little light goes off in your head that you remember that and it all comes back to you.  Thats usually how I ace all my tests. Good Luck!

Pay attention in class!  This is the most important thing you can do.  Ask questions when you don't understand something.  Also, review your notes everyday.  (I mean everyday.)  If you find something you have a question on, make a note of it and ask about it. Study groups may help you.  If so, ask around class and see if anyone is interested in joining you. Getting a 4.0, for most people, takes a lot of dedication.  Good luck.

im 16 and so far these habits have really helped me concentrate; and by concentrating you can get your work done in half the time. sit at a tidy desk. make sure the area is well-lit, and sit straight on ur chair. dont play any music etc, and try to concentrate as hard as you can without daydreaming. you should hopefully feel better about studying. :)

well u need to hv a plan.  u need to hv self discipline. put aside an hr same time each day to study. plan on each day wat u wanna study and do it. get rid of all distraction by doing wat u need to do before your study hr.  tell urself watever you have not done yet can wait after your study. clear your mind for this hr and concentrate. use writing instead of reading to urself, this will force u to concentrate. summarise again what you write, in writing.\n when you are confident enuff, increase your study to 2 hrs, etc.

Find out which is the way you find easiest to learn.  Do you remember better if you her things or say things or do things?  Then use ways that use your best way.  Perhaps say things out loud as you try to learn them, or flash cards if you prefer seeing things, or work out actions to do.  You could tape things and then listen to them as you go to bed or if you are trying to learn facts you could put them up on your bathroom mirror and learn a new one every couple of days.  Also find out if you find it better to learn for long periods and then have long breaks or for shorter periods and have shorter breaks.  Give yourself rewards when you have down so much work, like a bar of chocolate or for more work a book you want to red or a night out (but not too much drinking!)  Have a competition with some one else about time spent in the library, or at least together.  It does get easy the more you do.  Keep telling yourself that and fill in a chart so you can see how many hours work you have done.

Pure motivation....don't focus on the task itself but the finished product.\n\nGood Luck

Use a coach or mentor to help you focus.  Delegate tasks you don't want to do or at which you don't excel.

Take 15-20 minutes in the morning before the rush begins and have some quiet time for yourself. If you 'need' visual or audio input, then read or play music which gives you energy. Same at the end of the day, but things that relax you. Makes a to do list for the next day to better organize your time, which will in turn allow more YOU time. Another possibility is more interaction with others while 'giving' in order to feel more in tune rather than getting nothing fulfilling back.

Make a list of things you want to achieve, set date/goals for them. Hold yourself accountable. \n\nAnd spend less time on the Internet. ;-)\n\nImran

You can start by not asking others for strategies. ^__^\n\nCute question though.
