Help... I am just a careless person.. any tips to improve awareness?

Question

Bah! I'm just so sick of my carelessness. I'm more of a just-do-it kind of person and don't really pay close attention. I tend to make a lot of careless mistakes on homework assignments and tests. Does anyone have some advice to improve this or some kind of procedure they take when they need to remember stuff? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

pay attention to what you are doing when you are doing it .. be focused when you do things, don't just try to finish things real fast, or take a long time on them(which usually means you're not concentrated)ps. what school do you attend

Answer 2

Yes you can make improvements in your homework if you really want to. Just by putting your mind to it each time you do homework, you will see improvement.

First figure out a way to make less careless errors. You can plan to do you homework in a quiet place that is conducive to focusing on the work whether that is at home or at the library. Then make sure to put everything else out of your mind and check how well you are doing as you go along.

When you have a reading assignment, first go through the pages quickly to overview what is being covered in those pages. Then read each part quickly to see what the book has to say about each part. Then see whether you know about what each part says and go back over anything you didn't understand or remember. Then glance over all the material again to fix it in your mind. Then do the questions. Look over your answers for spelling, grammar, sentence structure, paragraphing, and whether the content that answers the question is all there

For math or art or music, you should also keep checking to make sure you have covered everything in the assignment and whether is looks good.

It is really worth your while that you are making the effort to do your school work more carefully. You will soon be please with yourself for making this effort.

Here's a game you can play.
Describe that car!Seriously, no joking.You and a friend stand on a street corner, picck a car at random and ask a friend to describe it.
Instead of "I don't know" how about,
a green 2 door SUV, needs a wash, a man driving with what appears to be a younger man as a passenger.
If you're not into cars, don't worry about year and make, just something significant ,
You;'ll have lots of fun, but most important get a lesson on how to pay attention.

Answer 6

sometimes i have to remember to remember to do things. like i'll tell myself. ok, today, if i see a cvs pharmacy... GARBAGE BAGS. so i just think cvs, garbage bags. so it's basically i get a into my head, then b and c follows. kind of like how i memorize phone numbers. i don't memorize the number, i find a really roundabout way of remembering it. for instance, i'll memorize the first three, like 555, and the second half will be 3x8 is 24. so it's 555-3824.

it's making mental notes in your head, it's writing down a post it on your desk when you do homework reminding yourself to check over the answers. and it's disciplining yourself and putting down your foot and saying that you must go over everything at least once after you're finished.

think about the careless mistakes that you are making. make a list. is it that your arithmetic is a little off sometimes? (in trigonometry, i used to have the methods down but then it came to the final answer and i'd do something like 3^2 is 12. i was really careless and i was kind of stressed out those days, too). how can you avoid those? write those down. breathe that list when you are doing homework, get into the mode of it.

it's kind of like writing. if no one forces us to organize and write multiple drafts, our writing can become sloppy. we just have to be on top of it ourselves.

if you find that it's really difficult to discipline yourself, you can find a tutor. ummm if you're careless just with homework or finding that you're becoming careless in several areas of your life, sit down and ask yourself why. make sure you take your vitamins, you get enough sleep, you're eating well because deficiency can cause lack of focus/memory problems...... is it that you are not aware of anything or is your mind wandering to other things? and do not beat yourself up for being careless. just stop being careless, without care. change your attitude to caring.
