How do I motivate myself to do my homework? I hate homework.

all you have to do is think about is the feeling of having it al done!

Think of having a mouth with no teeth because you had no money for a dentist. Think of looking for a dead end job because you didn't care about school.
Time goes by so very fast. There will be a time when you will wished you had done your homework.
Do it for the kids you might someday have. Don't want to let kid know you were too lazy to finish one of the
most important parts of life.

Create a rewarding system for homework

um, picture yourself cleaning toilets when you grow up (= lol kidding homework is sucky but it helps you prepare in so many ways and is good for your brain.. when you get home from school, do your homework and get it all over with . and then chill and you don't have anything to worry about :D:D it will really helppp youuu kiddd

Imagine yourself in the welfare line........now do your homework!

i feel the same way...

i can never get the work done, because i spend to much time doing other stuff i enjoy. I leave all the work until the last minute and then end up failing anyway. Even if i try to make a decent effort i end up f**king it up anyway, cause im to f**king stupid.

i recently started universtiy, and the amount of work they give us is f**kin enourmous, its making me depressed because i cant get it all done. i hate life atm, dont call me emo, emo's cry and f**kin cut themselves....i just need to cheer u and get back on track, cause atm life sucks, im depressed all day, when i go to sleep i have good dreams, and when i wake up reality slaps me in the face and i get reminded of all the assingments i have to do, and all the study, if i pull out of my course my dad will think im a failure and i will have to get a job working at the super market or something, and everyday when i speak to him, i will be reminded of how i pulled out of my course cause i couldnt hack it, and if i had only put in the hard yards now then i could have a great life, SO THATS WHY I CANT CHANGE MY DEGREE!!! but my degree sucks, i find it to be the most boring piece of sh*t in the world, i dont understand anything, so when i fail, its just one step closer to the day when i realise i wasted my life doing sh*t i never wanted to do....


ahhh i cbf saying any more sh*t, all thats gonna happen is im gonna het harrased for this sh*t anyway by some d*ckheads on this site.....

I use the "reward" theory, find something you really want to do (movie, hike, dairy queen) and then say to yourself OK but not untill I'm done with my homework

Picture yourself working at McDonald's for the rest of your life. That ought to do it.

Try listening to classical music when you crack the books. This will make you feel smarter about yourself and it will help you focus on your homework tasks.

Let's do a visualization exercise: Think of yourself having failed your courses and being stuck for the rest of your life in a dead-end menial job. Isn't homework more appealing now? +5

I use procrastination to my advantage. Waiting till the last minute, you get an adrenaline rush and speeds up my working progress 10-fold. So, essentially, i save time by procrastinating. :)

I use this subconscious thing. Do your homework, and dont think about anything. Just do it, dont think, or else you will give yourself a reason not to do it. What I usually do also is visit a forum of some sort, read a thread or 2, do an assignment, read another thread, and so on (or something similar to that. now go do your hmw

It's been many years since I've done homework, but I usually just thought about how nice it is to have your homework DONE...it sounds geeky (and I admit I'm a geek) but it becomes as close to fun as homework can possibly get.

Well, I tend to listen to music (iPod) to pass the time while doing it.....that seems all I can think of right now.

I hated it too, but you have to do it you know, just grit your teeth and start and don't stand up before it ends.

Give yourself a reward when you're finished....say an ice cream,call to a friend, hot bath, favorite show, or whatever you find pleasure in.

Just think about the fact that if you don't do it, you will fail. If you fail, then you fail at work. You won't be able to get that good of a job. Then you will work at McDonald's until you die, how pathetic... If that whole thing makes you too depressed or something, deal with it, do the work, get a high paying job, and pay for therapy to make it feel better.

i hate it too, i have to do some right now. jus free youself of all distractions. jus do it

Pretend that your homework assignment is worth half your grade, haha well it works for me! I hate doing homework too but it does play in with your grade.

just dont do it
