I need to write papers and engage myself in school, but I keep choosing videogames over and over again. How do I buckle down and learn to love work?

Mindfulness. Hi. I am a Buddhist girl. We practice mindfulness. That means, we practice being aware (awake) to everything we are doing. So, if we are playing a game, we do not just sit there and drift, we are aware that we are doing this act of play. Then, we can consciously shift our focus to something else. Study is not something you have to force yourself to do. You can not "make" yourself love it. You are trying too hard. Relax. Be mindful. Study is just another activity for your mind. Just like playing. That is all. It tests a different part of your brain. Be aware of that and it will seem much less difficult. And when you need to take a break from study or play, be mindful of what you are doing and how it is helping you keep your life in a happy balance. Even drinking a Coke, be mindful. Bye. :)

Hey, first off, let me say I also have that issue, and because of it I am almost 4 weeks behind in schoolwork (Homeschooled) but I have a system that will get me caught up. First off, you need to organize your classes. Set a specific class you have for each day. If you have more than 5, put two easy ones on one day. After you have that done, dedicate a part of your day, at least an hour, to work on the subject you have down for that day. If anything, do your schoolwork in another room, AWAY from the video games (although I do know they are addicting. Get me started in Zelda and I never stop!) This is what my mum gave me as advice. Good luck!

Think about adding another year in school 'cause you failed to get a Pass.
