This is an excellent link by Cynthia Arem. It's about math but applies to other academic subjects as well.

You might also get some books on meditation and visualization at the library. Start working on recognizing negative self-talk and creating positive messages. Every time a negative thought pops up, write down a positive statement and repeat it to yourself. Instead of "I'm so stupid, I'll never be able to do this assingment" change it to "I'm practicing hard and learning more each day." Post positive statements around your room and read them several times a day. The more you replace the negative w/positive, the more your brain will start to believe them.
If you believe you have a more serious problem, talk to a school counselor or your physician and ask them to help you overcome this.

One thing that's helped me is to write those ideas down in a notepad or sheet of paper. Even better, create a brainstorm! This helps to release the ideas in your head and put them somewhere else, making way for other things.
The worst thing you can do is ignore them - you'll either go mad, or you'll throw away a potentially life-changing suggestion.

What you are experiencing is called "day dreaming". Don't worry; you're not going mad. Everyone day dreams, sometimes when we're not supposed to like when we should study or concentrate. My suggestion is to put an elastic band around your wrist, and every time you start day dreaming, give that elastic band a snap. It will quickly refocus your mind on to what it should be concentrating on! Don't snap it too hard though - I don't want you to hurt yourself.
