I can't seem to get myself motivated to do my homework! I have a lot tonight, but I always just seem to think "I'll do it later. I'm having way more fun IMing my friend right now" Then "later" comes around, and I think the same thing. This cycle goes until like 8:00 when I have no choice to start my homework, but even then I get distracted. What can I do to perk up my assignments?

thx

Let's put it in perspective here ten years from now will that conversation on IM matter? Will you have the amazing career you always wanted? A lot of people just do not have much of an education or chance in life of making more than enough to support one person. Your grades are very important as are your SAT scores to get into a good college and have a shot at an excellent career.

Just remember frittering time away on IM all night and handing in half-assed work brings your marks down and puts you farther away from achieving your goals.

Here is how I would do this successfully when you arrive from school fix a snack, beverage and sit down and do an hour of homework before dinner. Break for dinner and then do as much as you can by 8 p.m. Then watch TV or Im for an hour. Wrap up your homework before 10 and you will have the right balance between home work and fun. After all, all work no play makes for a dull girl/guy.

thx
