how can I like homework?

Question

How can I like it and want to do it? I always have to force myself to do homework! I want to like it, how can I do that?

Answer 1

It's all a matter of attitude and motivation. First of all be thankful that you have some. 85% of the world's children receive no education at all. Think of the advantages you have and be thankful that there are many eminent men and women prepared to give you so much knowledge and skill. All school work is for your benefit, not theirs, and in later life you will be grateful. Remember the alternative. Do you want to grow up being dumb and unemployed or in a low paid, dead end job or do you want to be in a successful career earning lots of money that will fund a good lifestyle. Look around at those people you know who have done so and those who haven't.

Now then, the homework. This is, basically, an extension of course work at school or college. Set aside a certain time each day for doing the work and do it. Think of future success and the sense of acheivement when you have done it. Try to avoid distractions like background music or TV. Go to your room and do itthere. If there is something you don't understand write it dowen to ask the tutor next day. Thatway they'll know you tried rather than doing nothing.

Best of luck with your future. Do your homework and you'll deserve it. Remember what the Bible says 'Ye shall reap as ye shall sow.'

Answer 2

Only you can change yourself. There is no special magical way to want to do homework.

You are in that growing phase of life which is still forming and strengthening the personal traits that will remain with you for the rest of your life. Homework is just part of this training.

Remind yourself that you will not have homework forever. This is just a temporary group of tasks. You can be bent out of shape by it, or learn to tolerate it and get it out of the way.

Often a study group or partner will help. A friend or sibling or neighbor or library group can help put study into perspective.

Doing your homework at the same time each day may also make it easier to begin (which is often the hardest part).

Having a good location (proper light and seating with adequate table or desk space) can also make it easier.

Some people find that white noise CD's (gentle rain, ocean shore, babbling brook, etc.) can help maintain mental focus better than music or silence or hearing someone's TV.

Answer 3

Enjoying homework is difficult only because you view it as cutting into your free time. If you can view it as though homework is how you become smart, and becoming smart will impress and help you make money and perhaps enjoy life and discussions, you might like it more.

Answer 4

Don't worry, no-one likes doing homework, unless you want to become a nerd! I HATE doing homework! I have this massive English assignment and history mock trial due this Friday! But hey enjoy life! LOL maybe someday you'll thank your teachers....(very unlikely)
