If that doesnt help, maybe set goals or rewards for yourself like, Once I do this homework, I'll get on the computer for half an hour, or somehting like that. That's what I do, because when I get home, I want to get on the computer instead of doing my homework, so I have to kinda punish myself. So like, I take away something that distracts me, and tell myself that I can have it back once I'm done studying and doing whatever else. I know it seems dumb, cause its not like you cant just walk in the room and turn the PC on, but try it. It works for me :P
Hope I helped. [ iLoVeLaCrOsSe's advice column | Ask iLoVeLaCrOsSe A Question ]

Homework is definitley boring but try to work it into your schedule around the same time every day. You'll get into the habit of "oh it's time to do my homework" Make sure you aren't around distactions as well. try to find somewhere quiet. Or try studying with friends and helping eachother out. Not literally giving the answers to eachother but it seems easier when your with friends. Studying can be hard as well. Especially if it is a boring subject but just try reading over what you have again and again until you think you know it alright. Then take a small break Keywords SMALL. maybe like 5-10 minutes of having a snack or something. [ lxlaznshortylxl's advice column | Ask lxlaznshortylxl A Question ]

It will take longer than just sitting down and getting it over with but you will feel more accomplished if you finish that way then getting distracted all the time.
