Hard to do Homework?!
Question: Well, I am a straight A and B student. But I have a huge procrastination problem. So, I ALWAYS get my homework done. But I always procrastinate to do it until really late at night or early in the morning. I come home, grab a snack, watch tv, surf the net for a little, take dog for a walk, go to dance class for a half hour, come home, (around 6-6:30) talk to friends on phone, have dinner, shower, and then start homework. But sometimes I say to myself "I am just going to do it as soon as I get home." but when I do, I get distracted by something else or take a little break and then forget about it and then remember about it late at night and then do it. It is really hard for me to not procrastinate. Are there any tips that help to not procrastinate and just do it when I get home from school? Please help me!

This is not a mental health question. You do not have a problem with procrastination, you have a problem with discipline. I was the same way myself.
After years of setting this pattern it takes a huge amount of effort to change it. If you plan to go to college, then it will benefit you greatly to cure yourself of this now. You can coast like this in high school but college is a different matter.
There are a number of tips such as setting a schedule, leaving yourself notes, setting up a reward system for yourself, and so on. However, they all boil down to the simple fact that you are going to have to force yourself to start your homework earlier. And you're going to have to force yourself over and over again month after month until you've established a new pattern. Very few people can do it. But who knows, maybe you can. Good luck.
do it at school. or ask a parent to help you
haha, im absolutely no help.. but I wanted to let you know that your not alone! Its like 3am my time and I'm trying to concentrate on homework, but instead im surfing the net and looking at colleges
NO tips, you just need a bit of will to summon up, think of how happy you'll be once you are finished homework, you do all that stuff, and then you can just relax when you get home
Oh Gawd, I am the same way, here on Answers instead of getting my rest so I can hit what I need to do. I'm no help!
i have the same problem even i take my university exams without studyin. as i spoke with several ones they said u're clever. that's ur only problem so u lose caurage to study the things u've learned. i recommend u to go on the same way with one difference. you'de better use ur cleverness in other ways. study the topics u're intrested in so after several years u'll be a great ideologist. k honey?
need self-disciplined and more motivation
