This is hilarious for me. WHen i'm in school, i cannot focus, but when i get home....EVerything snaps and i do homework so easily that it's even easier than breathing. I do all of my homework within 15 minutes. Mostly it's because i like being alone and with no company around me. Silence and being alone helps me focus. Also, feel happy. Happiness increases focus in understandable amounts. Be overjoyed and you can't do shit.
Also, if your work is physically hard, use this tip Black Mesa does:
"Work harder, not smarter."
Use your brains the minimum amount at work. Just do the work and maybe listen to music. It's the perfect shutoff for your brain to rest at. I seriously recommend these:
Enjoy everything in life
EAT A FUCKING LOT
And most of all, work ahrder, not smarter.
Actually tip 2 only applies to me, as i cannot get fat at this point in my life.

This is what i do and its probably the best thing for you to do also. Find somewhere where there is absolutely nothing to distract you. Libaraies offer quite places to study and a massive archive if you are researching.
Ive seriusly never found so much information on the French Revolution in one spot.
Do homework earlier? :confused:
I do homework after dinner
Have a stimulant, coffee, fish, B vitamins. Put on some Beethoven or Mozart... Helped me through college, also turn off any super bright lights.
I was like you in highschool, I did shit all homework after school. The only time i'd really do due work is the night before. Worked for me haha. But now I'm in uni studying something I love, I have absolutely no problem doing homework and assignments and shit.
I always wait till the last minute to do projects. I'll stay up until 10pm to 3am doing work well listening to Metallica's Load and ReLoad album (they help me brain storm and give me good vocabulary ideas :)
I always got A's on them. But I would nearly fall asleep the next day all day :)
Try getting some Adderal, Concerta or Ritalin.
Also, with my GCSE technology coursework I literally did the entire thing (which consisted of about 10 big A3 spreads of work) the night before the absolute final deadline. My parents helped me do it and I got an A. I lol'd
I have the exact same thing as the OP.
In fact right now I'm trying to urge myself to start some coursework thats due tomorrow.
I have a serious problem too, my lowest grade is a %26 in History.
Maybe I should do that coursework that was due 3 weeks ago. I need to do it in order to pass.
Well I mean I can find the motivation to do the stuff. The problem is I can't actually think critically on coursework in the evenings even if I tried (and I do).
It's the morning now, and an hour before I gotta leave for school. I can actually think straight so hopefully I can shit out this draft and get it done.
Just dont. I havent done any homework in my last years at high school
I cannot find any motivation whatsoever and I'm sitting my first maths module in three weeks. :saddowns:

That's understandable if it's a useless timewaster such as a maths crossword or something to do with finding facts and stuff.
But if it's something that'll actually count towards your grade then it's like important and stuff.

There's nothing wrong with you. It's just that you're lazy.. like the best of us!
Ok, after six hours I've now persuaded myself to start doing it.
I'm ready to do the work.
I'm gonna get it done...
...As soon as I stop posting on FP.
Take drugs like ketamine to increase your brain it works for me.
Studying at home sucks. Go somewhere quiet, like a library.
I find that eating a lot of healthy food and getting enough sleep helps a lot.
Also having a long term career goal can help motivate you.
But even after doing both of those I can rarely come home and do homework even if I have nothing else to do. I try to get all my assignments done in school so I don't have to worry about them
I normally do homework in another lesson the day it's due or at midnight-ish the night before. Organisation skills woo.
