How should i motivate myself to get my hw done?

How can I motivate myself to get my work done sooner rather than later? I've tried a lot of ways to motivate myself, but it doesn't work.

• I have SUCH a motivation issue. It's been getting progressively worse and I'm starting to feel like my procrastination is really harmful.So ever since sophmore year, i've just noticed me getting to my homework later and later and later and later. I've done everything to get myself to realize how stressed out and exhausted i'll be if i keep procrastinating with my work, but I always get started late at night. Now im in my junior year (most important year), and i find myself procrastinating to the max still. Believe it or not, i get my work done and thorough. But I would definitely say I'm beyond stressed even after im done with it. Especially with sports going on and other major events, I dont know if I can afford to keep getting started on my work at 11 pm at night. How can I REALLY push myself to get straight to my work so that im not so exhausted and worn out in the morning?

• Answer:

  Procrastination stems from fear, I've read. If this is true for you, you need to find a reason to see what is it you are afraid of? 1. Are you being pressured to make high grades all the time? 2. What are the consequences if you decide not to do your homework at least one time? 3. Are sports taking all your energy so that you have nothing left so you can't get your homework done? 4. Why is homework so difficult for you? Do you have ADHD to cope with? There is help for that. 5. Do you talk to a school counselor to get some answers and strategies to solve your problem? Your problem is workable. Get a little support from your suppot system! Good luck!
