5 ways to make your homework easier

Homework is an essential part of day-to-day studies. It helps you understand a topic/chapter better and get good marks in your exams. So, how do you get your homework done as fast as possible? Check out the following power tips:

Tip 1: Get organized!

It sounds like a bad word, but getting organized is a BIG help.

• Get a big calendar and write down what you have to do every day
• Write down when you have to submit assignments
• Clean up your study space so that there should not be any distractions

Tip 2: Defeat fear!

Yes, it is true. Sometimes, students do not do their homework just because they think it is very scary. Here is how to beat fear:

• Break up huge assignments into smaller pieces and do one piece after the other
• You do not have to do everything at once. Decide which one is most important and do that first.
• Remember that EVERYONE makes mistakes sometimes

Tip 3: Don’t forget fun!

Having fun is important, but it should not distract you from your schoolwork. This is how to get the best of both.

• Set aside an hour a day for fun activities. Finish your activities and then get down to your study (or the other way ‘round)
• Request your parents to give you little rewards every time you finish an important bit of work
• Keep some small snacks with you while you do your homework. But don’t eat too much!

Tip 4: Ask for help!

Nobody is perfect. If you do not know how to do something, asking is a great way of finding it out.

• Take the help of a close friend if you can’t figure out an assignment
• Ask your parents for help whenever required
• Ask your teacher. You will be surprised how willing he/she is to help you!

Tip 5: Get going!

We all look for excuses to avoid our homework! But here is how to get down to it:

• Say aloud “I am doing my homework now.” Yes, it is funny, but it works. Try it!
• Think about how great it would feel to have finished all your homework
• Figure out what time of day you feel very energetic. Do your most difficult work during that time
