I have the same probelm. But I relize what people in my life that havent finished school and look at them. They cant keep a steady job, they cant afford a good living. Your not going to find a wife/husband if you cant support him/her. Its hard but it pays for in the long run. What I usually do is I turn everything off in my room and just read and do what I have to do in my studies. Good luck!!

Concentration: the ability to direct your thinking
The art or practice of concentration,
no matter if studying biology or playing pool,
is to focus on the task at hand and eliminate distraction
We all have the ability to concentrate -- sometimes. Think of the times when you were "lost" in something you enjoy: a sport, playing music, a good game, a movie. Total concentration.
But at other times,
Your mind wanders from one thing to another
Your worries distract you
Outside distractions take you away before you know it
The material is boring, difficult, and/or not interesting to you.
These tips may help: They involve
What you can control in your studies
Best practices
What you can control in your studies:
"Here I study"
Get a dedicated space, chair, table, lighting and environment
Avoid your cellphone or telephone
Put up a sign to avoid being disturbed or interrupted
If you like music in the background, OK, but don't let it be a distraction. (Research on productivity with music versus without music is inconclusive)
Stick to a routine, efficient study schedule
Accommodate your day/nighttime energy levels
See our Guide on Setting goals and making a scheduling
Focus
Before you begin studying, take a few minutes to summarize a few objectives, gather what you will need, and think of a general strategy of accomplishment
Incentives
Create an incentive if necessary for successfully completing a task,
such as calling a friend, a food treat, a walk, etc.
For special projects such as term papers, design projects, long book reviews, set up a special incentive
Change topics
Changing the subject you study every one to two hours for variety
Vary your study activities
Alternate reading with more active learning exercises
If you have a lot of reading, try the SQ3R method
Ask yourself how you could increase your activity level while studying? Perhaps a group will be best? Creating study questions?
Ask your teacher for alternative strategies for learning. The more active your learning, the better.
Take regular, scheduled breaks that fit you
Do something different from what you've been doing (e.g., walk around if you've been sitting), and in a different area
Rewards
Give yourself a reward when you've completed a task
Best Practices:
You should notice improvement in a few days
But like any practice, there will be ups, levels, and downs:
It will benefit other activities you do!

OK, you asked for it:
Get off the computer and back to your work.
Oh, and this would probably fit better in the homework section. Lots of kids avoiding homework over there, asking questions about homework, and some just plain looking for people to do their homework for them.
Next time you have a homework question, try posting it over there, you'll get tons of response.

Used to experience that too, need to know what distracts you and basically instill discipline to study and avoid procrastination.
