The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Cant bring myself to do homework-any tips?
- Thread starter Nikolas222
- Start date
I guess you would start doing homework while listening to your favorite music? It's easiest to start with math and listen to music and then do the other h.w. that doesn't go well with music like english/reading.

What encourages me is using the talents God gave me to do my best for Him and me, and my parents. To work hard in school, since I have faith

I just follow Christ.
To give some real advice (posted elsewhere by someone else on these forums) you should try to change your environment when you get distracted. Get up and make a snack, or listen to a song etc... anything to give your brain a rest without actually changing subjects (you don't want to watch TV or play ps2 for example). Also, if it gets really bad, move to a different environment. Move from your room to the kitchen or something. Often people work better with background noise, or with perfect quiet - find your perfect study spot, and don't be afraid to go elsewhere if you feel different one day.
All these suggestions take dedication, as in the end you ARE forcing yourself to do work. The biggest advice I can give you is to find a way to get excited about your homework. Spend an hour online for each subject every week and find out how that subject (or math problem etc...) will apply to the world - whether it's physics, or biology, or looking up history pages. There's some REALLY interesting stuff out there, but teachers often overlook it in favor of rote teaching. If you want to REALLY do well in your homework, give yourself enough information that you can apply the work to real life, or to other subjects AS YOU"RE WORKING. Then your mind won't wander as much, and you won't WANT to quit quite as much (though you'll still want to watch TV or play X-Box).

if you also go to the library. I guess for super beginners to study with your friends but then it might become a habit.

Well, never wait for motivation to do homework. Waiting for motivation is like waiting for the bus at a corner where it never stops.
Bite the bullet and start it.
Stay away from the television, the phone, and the computer.
I listen to really hard music when I study, and use headphones too. They isolate me from the rest of the world. This doesn't work for everyone though.
Start the worst stuff first. For me, that would have been anything related to math.
Yes, you can argue that what you are learning is completely worthless for the life you are going to live. But disciplining yourself to do your work and to do it as best as you can is soemthing that will serve you VERY well later on in life.
The work force is exploding with people who don't do their job and what they do is worse than if they had not bothered to show up.
So if you can do this for yourself you will be learning one of the most important things in your life, a work ethic, even though the stuff you're doing seems absolutely pointless.
Plus its nice to see your parents have a heart attack when your report card is actually good.

Man of God- I know what you mean; I've had the same problem my whole life. I'm in grad school now and still have it. The only thing you can do is sit yourself down and force yourself to do what needs to be done.

I've so far passed the stage of not being able to do homework that I hardly ever do homework at all. I can't concentrate. Somehow I'm still passing college, and I'm on my 4th semester.

i think that's good advice.J3sus-Is-Alive said:
but for me, thinking about proving people wrong does not help my mind concentrate. This semester, I wanted to do everything. I have big plans...I just can't do it sometimes. I'm not sure why though. like i wanted to think of an awesome idea for my english paper. eh...couldn't.
Last semester, I wanted to organize all my psychology notes into a neat...book. i wanted to make it all nice and easy to read, with illustrations and everything. but...i never got to it. my mind is fogged up, and i need to find something other than "proving people wrong". Sometimes i can study...but those are rare happenings.

maybe that might work. I know I have to have music on at least. But usually, i sit at my computer...which leads to my mind straying off. hmmm...headphones and away from the computer might work. i'll try that.Mr.Cheese said:

Set yourself a short term goal with a reward attached to. Example -- If I do my math homework I will allow myself to talk on the phone for 20 minutes. Take your reward and then move on to the next subject the same way.
