How can i concentrate on my hw?!?

• ok so i get a lot of hw rite? and im kinda picky about it too. im a strait A student. but i dont really mind if i get a B or a C. but i like cant concentrate on my hw cuz i wanna talk to my friends online and stuff and i keep daydreaming about things that would b so much funner. and i get distracted on the computer every time....kinda like now. i just had my bat mitzvah, and then i had to study torah and stuff so i used that as an excuse when i didnt get my hw done. which was kinda stupid. and i just wanna start doing it. but its really hard to concentrate and stuff. and i need it done by the day its due! my US society teacher is getting really anoyyed how im turning every thing in late. they r good quality, but late. and now he wont be accepting any work late. so i NEED it done! so i can get in the habit for high school.

• Answer:

  I get the same way you do a lot of the time, where I always want to IM my friends when I really should be doing homework. The most effective way to solve it, that I've found, is just to go to my room, where there isn't a computer or TV, and promise to myself that I'll do nothing else until I finish my homework. It seems to work pretty well. It's a little harder when I'm on the computer, like if I have to do research for a project, but just keep checking yourself to make sure you're not off task and not playing any games or something. It's really easy to get distracted, so just put extra effort into staying focused. I hope this helps!
