The dean of phychology at UCONN gave us an idea. Don't spend your weekends studying... Don't spend all night studying... Spend your time between classes studying... If you don't have a class first thing in the morning, study then... Study in the afternoon too if you have a free period... It's those 15 to 30 minute blocks of study you can grab during the regular day that will get you there....

I want you to know first that what you are speaking of is called "sloth."
Sloth is understanding that something should be done but not doing it out of laziness or lack of care.
Are your studies important? Very much so! Do you do them? Not as often as you should.
There are a few answers to this question. I'll give you the easiest one first.
Studying will get you what you want in this life. Whatever career or dreams you have in this world, you can start getting them now.
Good grades will get you into a good college. A good college education is what will set you apart from thousands of other people who would like to do the job you will eventually have.
You're not worried about college? The grades that you get in school will be used to get your first few jobs in this world. Employers will want to know how well you did in high school to see what kind of work ethic you have. Studying and working a nine to five job aren't all that different. Even if you aren't in high school, studying now and making good grades will get you prepared for all that you have to learn in high school. You won't be playing catch up all the time because you don't know what a binomial or hexagon are.
The more difficult answer is this - You know the right thing to do. So why don't you do it? (Saint Augustine once pointed me toward this line of reasoning.) You have a good heart and a good head on your shoulders. You know right from wrong. If you can see what is right, you can have it. I am not worried that you won't get all the things you want in this world. I would be worried if you didn't study and saw no problem with it.
Take a deep breath and do what you know you should do. You have an incredible sense of right and wrong. Follow those thoughts. They will lead you to a place where you will be happy. =)

What I do is this. I've had my days that I have gone a week straight without studying, reading my books, finishing exams, etc. I've discovered a way, so that I don't over work myself. I use to try to read a whole book, and do all exams in one night.
What I do now is RELAX! I sit down plan out all my favorite T.V shows for the day. Tell myself I will stop studying during that time. Then when my show is off I'll study until my next show is scheduled. I say...have fun! Don't stress yourself, but do your work! The sooner it's done the sooner you can do more things! Homework is stressful I just try to get it done! So I can get it out of my mind! Good luck!!

1. Get away from the computer. Turn it off and leave it off. Wasting time on internet forums will not improve your chances of becoming smart in your studies.
2. Eliminate the television from your vocabulary. Get rid of all electronic visual entertainment. TV and video games destroy the brain-cells that you need for life-long learning skills.
3. Set a goal for yourself in each area of academics. For example:
a. Math -- strive for 100% accuracy. Compute a minimum of 30 equations every day. Don't stop until they are all correct.
b. Writing -- write a minimum of one full page in essay form every day. Give it to someone else to edit.
c. Reading -- set a timer for 2 hours and read until it goes off. Choose the very best books from classic literature to historic documents. Read, read, and read.
4. Meet other people that value learning. Join groups that get together for academic pursuits. Find a debate club, a speech group, a writers discussion group, a math-quiz club.
5. Challenge yourself to learn something new. Choose a topic of interest such as politics or social demographics, bridge engineering, marine life etc.... and read all about it in the encyclopedia. Write a report about it. Send an article that you write to a newspaper to be published. Talk about it with other people that have a similar interest.
If you have a goal and a method you can overcome your laziness. Most schoolwork plans are very boring and lead to drudgery. Break out of the mold and make it your mission to become the best person that you can be.
It's as easy as math, writing and reading. 1.2.3.
Go for it.

You should say to yourself, "What is more important in my life? My TV (which will get me into college no problems...as if) or your homework. Look I know it's difficult, but it's seriously worth it in the end. You're just going to suffer for just a few years and then, you'll be fine. First of all you'll get used to studying, and you will also get into a secure profession. Lucky you! Study, it's the only way to prove your parents wrong...

Set small goals and reward yourself for every goal achieved... that got me through to university (ps... if the reward is food mind the pounds though)
