Tips for Staying Awake When You’re Tired

• Improve Sleep
• Take Breaks
• Use Caffeine
• Alter Activities
• Get Sunlight

Have a Snack

• Lower Temperatures
• Discuss Medications

When you feel tired but need to stay awake, there are things you can do to keep from falling asleep. These include making changes to your environment (such as lighting and temperature), taking breaks to refuel and stimulate yourself, and ensuring you have ample sleep reserves to fall back on when faced with long work or study hours.

Daytime  sleepiness is something that many people struggle with. It is often caused by poor sleep habits or sleep disorders that undermine the quality or duration of sleep.

This article offers 10 tips on how to stay awake when you are tired. It also discusses prescription drugs that healthcare providers may prescribe if daytime sleepiness affects your work or quality of life.

Get Enough Sleep

The best defense against daytime sleepiness is getting a good night’s rest . Not getting enough sleep, called sleep restriction, is the most common cause of daytime drowsiness and fatigue.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the amount of sleep time you need varies by age:

By getting enough sleep on a regular basis, you will have the reserves needed to work, study, or stay out late. By not getting enough sleep, called a sleep deficit , you will be hard-pressed to be productive even if you manage to stay awake.

Take Frequent Breaks

Concentrating on a work task for a long period of time can make you feel exhausted. As hours turn into many hours, the quality of your work may suffer, causing you to make mistakes. This is especially true when working in front of a computer, leading to what some call "computer work fatigue."

To keep this from happening, take frequent short breaks every couple of hours. Instead of checking personal emails or playing on the computer, get up from your desk, stretch your legs, and get a snack or a drink to keep your energy levels up.

Consume Caffeine

Caffeine is an effective way to stay awake and alert when your energy starts to lag. it s a natural stimulant that can boost energy and improve your focus.

To avoid jitteriness, rapid heartbeats, and other caffeine side effects, you'll want to space out doses and limit yourself to the following daily intake:

• Adults : 400 milligrams (mg) or roughly four to five cups of coffee per day
• Children and teens : No more than 2.5 mg of caffeine per kilogram (kg) of body weight

Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and soda are popular caffeinated drinks. You can also get caffeine from foods like chocolate.

Alternate Your Activities

If you have trouble concentrating at work, you may find it helpful to change up activities. For example, you can break large projects into smaller tasks and complete them in steps rather than all at once. Or, you can use Mondays for certain tasks and reserve Wednesdays for other tasks.

In nursing where hours are long and often late, fatigue reduction protocols call for the avoidance of repetitive tasks that can lead to exhaustion, a loss of concentration, and potentially serious mistakes.

The same principles can be applied to any job. By shifting your work focus, you can be more attentive when tackling important tasks.

Get Some Light and Fresh Air

Interestingly, the type of lighting you have in your place of work can affect energy levels and lead to daytime fatigue.

This is evidenced by a 2022 study in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, which concluded that 400-kilowatt, color temperature-controlled lighting reduces workplace fatigue compared to regular incandescent or fluorescent lights. 400 kilowatts is a level of lighting that replicates daylight.

Because you often have no control over the lighting in your office, the next best thing to do is to get some sunlight and fresh air. Light exposure helps overcome sleepiness by maintaining the circadian rhythm that "tells" our bodies when to go to sleep and when to stay awake.

If you are battling daytime sleepiness, a nap may be enough to recharge your batteries. A 2016 study published in Sleep Science found that short "power naps" significantly improve learning and memory skills even for people who are not sleep-deprived and who get ample sleep.

In many cultures, having a midday nap is part of the daily routine.

As a general rule, naps lasting 15 to 20 minutes are the best way to get recharged. Anything longer may put you in a deeper state of sleep and leave you feeling groggy when you awaken.

Postprandial fatigue , also called "food coma," is a state of drowsiness that happens after a meal. It typically occurs 30 minutes to one hour after eating and can persist for several hours. It happens when blood from the brain is diverted to the stomach to aid with digestion.

One strategy to avoid this is to have a light lunch followed by a snack an hour later and maybe a coffee and another snack an hour or two after that.

Avoid sugary snacks that can give you a rush of energy followed by a "crash" an hour or two later. Instead, choose light, nutritious snacks like apple slices with peanut butter or carrot sticks with hummus.

Exercise and Be Active

Sedentary activities like sitting in a conference room, driving long distances, or being at your desk for hours on end can make you feel drowsy. It can also affect your mood, making you feel low, edgy, or washed out.

Exercise is a natural remedy to both of these concerns.

On the one hand, exercise improves energy levels by activating mitochondria inside muscle cells. Mitochondria are structures within cells that turn blood glucose (sugar) into fuel. Increased mitochondria activation translates to increased energy levels for the body as a whole.

On the other hand, exercise stimulates the production of "feel-good" hormones called endorphins . An increase in endorphins can rapidly lift your spirits and, by doing so, improve your concentration and energy levels.

Having a midday workout is certainly one way to approach this, but even having a brisk walk around the neighborhood can help enormously.

Keep the Environment Cool

If you have ever found yourself dozing off in a room that was overly warm, you know the benefits of keeping things on the cooler side.

It is well known that temperature can greatly affect your ability to sleep and stay awake. This is because hot and cold temperatures affect heart and respiration rates, burning up fuel reserves faster than normal. They also slow down the signaling between nerve cells in the brain, interfering with executive functions like reasoning, learning, and memory.

A 2019 study in Health Promotion Perspectives found that physiological and neurological functions were at best at temperatures around 71 F (22 C) and declined at temperatures over 30 F (86 F) or under 64 F (18 C).

Use Medications as a Last Resort

Prescription medications called stimulants can help people stay awake in specific situations. Examples include:

• Adderal (amphetamines)
• Ritalin (methylphenidate)
• Provigil (modafinil)
• Nuvigil (armodafinil)

Stimulants act on the brain to help you pay attention and remain alert. However, stimulants can be addictive and are rarely used to treat excessive daytime sleepiness. Their overuse can cause dizziness, tremors, headache, flushed skin, heart palpitations, chest pain, excessive sweating, vomiting, and abdominal cramps.

If you have a sleep disorder that causes daytime drowsiness, speak with a sleep specialist who may provide you with more appropriate and effective treatments.

When you're feeling tired but need to stay awake, sipping a little caffeine, taking frequent breaks, or eating a light snack can help you fight sleepiness.

Exercising, power-napping, getting fresh air, enjoying natural light, and lowering the temperature in a room can also help you stay awake during the day.

If you have a sleep disorder, your provider may prescribe medications to help you stay awake. These medications come with risks, however, and are rarely used if daytime drowsiness is the only symptom.

So let’s get started!

How to Do Homework: Figure Out Your Struggles 

Sometimes it feels like everything is standing between you and getting your homework done. But the truth is, most people only have one or two major roadblocks that are keeping them from getting their homework done well and on time. 

The best way to figure out how to get motivated to do homework starts with pinpointing the issues that are affecting your ability to get your assignments done. That’s why we’ve developed a short quiz to help you identify the areas where you’re struggling. 

Take the quiz below and record your answers on your phone or on a scrap piece of paper. Keep in mind there are no wrong answers! 

1. You’ve just been assigned an essay in your English class that’s due at the end of the week. What’s the first thing you do?

A. Keep it in mind, even though you won’t start it until the day before it’s due  B. Open up your planner. You’ve got to figure out when you’ll write your paper since you have band practice, a speech tournament, and your little sister’s dance recital this week, too.  C. Groan out loud. Another essay? You could barely get yourself to write the last one!  D. Start thinking about your essay topic, which makes you think about your art project that’s due the same day, which reminds you that your favorite artist might have just posted to Instagram...so you better check your feed right now. 

2. Your mom asked you to pick up your room before she gets home from work. You’ve just gotten home from school. You decide you’ll tackle your chores: 

A. Five minutes before your mom walks through the front door. As long as it gets done, who cares when you start?  B. As soon as you get home from your shift at the local grocery store.  C. After you give yourself a 15-minute pep talk about how you need to get to work.  D. You won’t get it done. Between texts from your friends, trying to watch your favorite Netflix show, and playing with your dog, you just lost track of time! 

3. You’ve signed up to wash dogs at the Humane Society to help earn money for your senior class trip. You: 

A. Show up ten minutes late. You put off leaving your house until the last minute, then got stuck in unexpected traffic on the way to the shelter.  B. Have to call and cancel at the last minute. You forgot you’d already agreed to babysit your cousin and bake cupcakes for tomorrow’s bake sale.  C. Actually arrive fifteen minutes early with extra brushes and bandanas you picked up at the store. You’re passionate about animals, so you’re excited to help out! D. Show up on time, but only get three dogs washed. You couldn’t help it: you just kept getting distracted by how cute they were!

4. You have an hour of downtime, so you decide you’re going to watch an episode of The Great British Baking Show. You: 

A. Scroll through your social media feeds for twenty minutes before hitting play, which means you’re not able to finish the whole episode. Ugh! You really wanted to see who was sent home!  B. Watch fifteen minutes until you remember you’re supposed to pick up your sister from band practice before heading to your part-time job. No GBBO for you!  C. You finish one episode, then decide to watch another even though you’ve got SAT studying to do. It’s just more fun to watch people make scones.  D. Start the episode, but only catch bits and pieces of it because you’re reading Twitter, cleaning out your backpack, and eating a snack at the same time.

5. Your teacher asks you to stay after class because you’ve missed turning in two homework assignments in a row. When she asks you what’s wrong, you say: 

A. You planned to do your assignments during lunch, but you ran out of time. You decided it would be better to turn in nothing at all than submit unfinished work.  B. You really wanted to get the assignments done, but between your extracurriculars, family commitments, and your part-time job, your homework fell through the cracks.  C. You have a hard time psyching yourself to tackle the assignments. You just can’t seem to find the motivation to work on them once you get home.  D. You tried to do them, but you had a hard time focusing. By the time you realized you hadn’t gotten anything done, it was already time to turn them in. 

Like we said earlier, there are no right or wrong answers to this quiz (though your results will be better if you answered as honestly as possible). Here’s how your answers break down: 

• If your answers were mostly As, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is procrastination. 
• If your answers were mostly Bs, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is time management. 
• If your answers were mostly Cs, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is motivation. 
• If your answers were mostly Ds, then your biggest struggle with doing homework is getting distracted. 

Now that you’ve identified why you’re having a hard time getting your homework done, we can help you figure out how to fix it! Scroll down to find your core problem area to learn more about how you can start to address it. 

And one more thing: you’re really struggling with homework, it’s a good idea to read through every section below. You may find some additional tips that will help make homework less intimidating. 

How to Do Homework When You’re a Procrastinator  

Merriam Webster defines “procrastinate” as “to put off intentionally and habitually.” In other words, procrastination is when you choose to do something at the last minute on a regular basis. If you’ve ever found yourself pulling an all-nighter, trying to finish an assignment between periods, or sprinting to turn in a paper minutes before a deadline, you’ve experienced the effects of procrastination. 

If you’re a chronic procrastinator, you’re in good company. In fact, one study found that 70% to 95% of undergraduate students procrastinate when it comes to doing their homework. Unfortunately, procrastination can negatively impact your grades. Researchers have found that procrastination can lower your grade on an assignment by as much as five points ...which might not sound serious until you realize that can mean the difference between a B- and a C+. 

Procrastination can also negatively affect your health by increasing your stress levels , which can lead to other health conditions like insomnia, a weakened immune system, and even heart conditions. Getting a handle on procrastination can not only improve your grades, it can make you feel better, too! 

The big thing to understand about procrastination is that it’s not the result of laziness. Laziness is defined as being “disinclined to activity or exertion.” In other words, being lazy is all about doing nothing. But a s this Psychology Today article explains , procrastinators don’t put things off because they don’t want to work. Instead, procrastinators tend to postpone tasks they don’t want to do in favor of tasks that they perceive as either more important or more fun. Put another way, procrastinators want to do things...as long as it’s not their homework! 

3 Tips f or Conquering Procrastination 

Because putting off doing homework is a common problem, there are lots of good tactics for addressing procrastination. Keep reading for our three expert tips that will get your homework habits back on track in no time. 

#1: Create a Reward System

Like we mentioned earlier, procrastination happens when you prioritize other activities over getting your homework done. Many times, this happens because homework...well, just isn’t enjoyable. But you can add some fun back into the process by rewarding yourself for getting your work done. 

Here’s what we mean: let’s say you decide that every time you get your homework done before the day it’s due, you’ll give yourself a point. For every five points you earn, you’ll treat yourself to your favorite dessert: a chocolate cupcake! Now you have an extra (delicious!) incentive to motivate you to leave procrastination in the dust. 

If you’re not into cupcakes, don’t worry. Your reward can be anything that motivates you . Maybe it’s hanging out with your best friend or an extra ten minutes of video game time. As long as you’re choosing something that makes homework worth doing, you’ll be successful. 

#2: Have a Homework Accountability Partner 

If you’re having trouble getting yourself to start your homework ahead of time, it may be a good idea to call in reinforcements . Find a friend or classmate you can trust and explain to them that you’re trying to change your homework habits. Ask them if they’d be willing to text you to make sure you’re doing your homework and check in with you once a week to see if you’re meeting your anti-procrastination goals. 

Sharing your goals can make them feel more real, and an accountability partner can help hold you responsible for your decisions. For example, let’s say you’re tempted to put off your science lab write-up until the morning before it’s due. But you know that your accountability partner is going to text you about it tomorrow...and you don’t want to fess up that you haven’t started your assignment. A homework accountability partner can give you the extra support and incentive you need to keep your homework habits on track. 

#3: Create Your Own Due Dates 

If you’re a life-long procrastinator, you might find that changing the habit is harder than you expected. In that case, you might try using procrastination to your advantage! If you just can’t seem to stop doing your work at the last minute, try setting your own due dates for assignments that range from a day to a week before the assignment is actually due. 

Here’s what we mean. Let’s say you have a math worksheet that’s been assigned on Tuesday and is due on Friday. In your planner, you can write down the due date as Thursday instead. You may still put off your homework assignment until the last minute...but in this case, the “last minute” is a day before the assignment’s real due date . This little hack can trick your procrastination-addicted brain into planning ahead!

How to Do Homework When You’re too Busy

If you’re aiming to go to a top-tier college , you’re going to have a full plate. Because college admissions is getting more competitive, it’s important that you’re maintaining your grades , studying hard for your standardized tests , and participating in extracurriculars so your application stands out. A packed schedule can get even more hectic once you add family obligations or a part-time job to the mix. 

If you feel like you’re being pulled in a million directions at once, you’re not alone. Recent research has found that stress—and more severe stress-related conditions like anxiety and depression— are a major problem for high school students . In fact, one study from the American Psychological Association found that during the school year, students’ stress levels are higher than those of the adults around them. 

For students, homework is a major contributor to their overall stress levels . Many high schoolers have multiple hours of homework every night , and figuring out how to fit it into an already-packed schedule can seem impossible. 

3 Tips for Fitting Homework Into Your Busy Schedule

While it might feel like you have literally no time left in your schedule, there are still ways to make sure you’re able to get your homework done and meet your other commitments. Here are our expert homework tips for even the busiest of students. 

#1: Make a Prioritized To-Do List 

You probably already have a to-do list to keep yourself on track. The next step is to prioritize the items on your to-do list so you can see what items need your attention right away. 

Here’s how it works: at the beginning of each day, sit down and make a list of all the items you need to get done before you go to bed. This includes your homework, but it should also take into account any practices, chores, events, or job shifts you may have. Once you get everything listed out, it’s time to prioritize them using the labels A, B, and C. Here’s what those labels mean:

• A Tasks : tasks that have to get done—like showing up at work or turning in an assignment—get an A. 
• B Tasks : these are tasks that you would like to get done by the end of the day but aren’t as time sensitive. For example, studying for a test you have next week could be a B-level task. It’s still important, but it doesn’t have to be done right away.
• C Tasks: these are tasks that aren’t very important and/or have no real consequences if you don’t get them done immediately. For instance, if you’re hoping to clean out your closet but it’s not an assigned chore from your parents, you could label that to-do item with a C.

Prioritizing your to-do list helps you visualize which items need your immediate attention, and which items you can leave for later. A prioritized to-do list ensures that you’re spending your time efficiently and effectively, which helps you make room in your schedule for homework. So even though you might really want to start making decorations for Homecoming (a B task), you’ll know that finishing your reading log (an A task) is more important. 

#2: Use a Planner With Time Labels

Your planner is probably packed with notes, events, and assignments already. (And if you’re not using a planner, it’s time to start!) But planners can do more for you than just remind you when an assignment is due. If you’re using a planner with time labels, it can help you visualize how you need to spend your day.

A planner with time labels breaks your day down into chunks, and you assign tasks to each chunk of time. For example, you can make a note of your class schedule with assignments, block out time to study, and make sure you know when you need to be at practice. Once you know which tasks take priority, you can add them to any empty spaces in your day. 

Planning out how you spend your time not only helps you use it wisely, it can help you feel less overwhelmed, too . We’re big fans of planners that include a task list ( like this one ) or have room for notes ( like this one ). 

#3: Set Reminders on Your Phone 

If you need a little extra nudge to make sure you’re getting your homework done on time, it’s a good idea to set some reminders on your phone. You don’t need a fancy app, either. You can use your alarm app to have it go off at specific times throughout the day to remind you to do your homework. This works especially well if you have a set homework time scheduled. So if you’ve decided you’re doing homework at 6:00 pm, you can set an alarm to remind you to bust out your books and get to work. 

If you use your phone as your planner, you may have the option to add alerts, emails, or notifications to scheduled events . Many calendar apps, including the one that comes with your phone, have built-in reminders that you can customize to meet your needs. So if you block off time to do your homework from 4:30 to 6:00 pm, you can set a reminder that will pop up on your phone when it’s time to get started.

How to Do Homework When You’re Unmotivated 

At first glance, it may seem like procrastination and being unmotivated are the same thing. After all, both of these issues usually result in you putting off your homework until the very last minute. 

But there’s one key difference: many procrastinators are working, they’re just prioritizing work differently. They know they’re going to start their homework...they’re just going to do it later. 

Conversely, people who are unmotivated to do homework just can’t find the willpower to tackle their assignments. Procrastinators know they’ll at least attempt the homework at the last minute, whereas people who are unmotivated struggle with convincing themselves to do it at a ll. For procrastinators, the stress comes from the inevitable time crunch. For unmotivated people, the stress comes from trying to convince themselves to do something they don’t want to do in the first place. 

Here are some common reasons students are unmotivated in doing homework : 

• Assignments are too easy, too hard, or seemingly pointless 
• Students aren’t interested in (or passionate about) the subject matter
• Students are intimidated by the work and/or feels like they don’t understand the assignment 
• Homework isn’t fun, and students would rather spend their time on things that they enjoy 

To sum it up: people who lack motivation to do their homework are more likely to not do it at all, or to spend more time worrying about doing their homework than...well, actually doing it.

3 Tips for How to Get Motivated to Do Homework

The key to getting homework done when you’re unmotivated is to figure out what does motivate you, then apply those things to homework. It sounds tricky...but it’s pretty simple once you get the hang of it! Here are our three expert tips for motivating yourself to do your homework. 

#1: Use Incremental Incentives

When you’re not motivated, it’s important to give yourself small rewards to stay focused on finishing the task at hand. The trick is to keep the incentives small and to reward yourself often. For example, maybe you’re reading a good book in your free time. For every ten minutes you spend on your homework, you get to read five pages of your book. Like we mentioned earlier, make sure you’re choosing a reward that works for you! 

So why does this technique work? Using small rewards more often allows you to experience small wins for getting your work done. Every time you make it to one of your tiny reward points, you get to celebrate your success, which gives your brain a boost of dopamine . Dopamine helps you stay motivated and also creates a feeling of satisfaction when you complete your homework !  

#2: Form a Homework Group 

If you’re having trouble motivating yourself, it’s okay to turn to others for support. Creating a homework group can help with this. Bring together a group of your friends or classmates, and pick one time a week where you meet and work on homework together. You don’t have to be in the same class, or even taking the same subjects— the goal is to encourage one another to start (and finish!) your assignments. 

Another added benefit of a homework group is that you can help one another if you’re struggling to understand the material covered in your classes. This is especially helpful if your lack of motivation comes from being intimidated by your assignments. Asking your friends for help may feel less scary than talking to your teacher...and once you get a handle on the material, your homework may become less frightening, too. 

#3: Change Up Your Environment 

If you find that you’re totally unmotivated, it may help if you find a new place to do your homework. For example, if you’ve been struggling to get your homework done at home, try spending an extra hour in the library after school instead. The change of scenery can limit your distractions and give you the energy you need to get your work done. 

If you’re stuck doing homework at home, you can still use this tip. For instance, maybe you’ve always done your homework sitting on your bed. Try relocating somewhere else, like your kitchen table, for a few weeks. You may find that setting up a new “homework spot” in your house gives you a motivational lift and helps you get your work done. 

Social media can be a huge problem when it comes to doing homework. We have advice for helping you unplug and regain focus.

How to Do Homework When You’re Easily Distracted

We live in an always-on world, and there are tons of things clamoring for our attention. From friends and family to pop culture and social media, it seems like there’s always something (or someone!) distracting us from the things we need to do.

The 24/7 world we live in has affected our ability to focus on tasks for prolonged periods of time. Research has shown that over the past decade, an average person’s attention span has gone from 12 seconds to eight seconds . And when we do lose focus, i t takes people a long time to get back on task . One study found that it can take as long as 23 minutes to get back to work once we’ve been distracte d. No wonder it can take hours to get your homework done! 

3 Tips to Improve Your Focus

If you have a hard time focusing when you’re doing your homework, it’s a good idea to try and eliminate as many distractions as possible. Here are three expert tips for blocking out the noise so you can focus on getting your homework done. 

#1: Create a Distraction-Free Environment

Pick a place where you’ll do your homework every day, and make it as distraction-free as possible. Try to find a location where there won’t be tons of noise, and limit your access to screens while you’re doing your homework. Put together a focus-oriented playlist (or choose one on your favorite streaming service), and put your headphones on while you work. 

You may find that other people, like your friends and family, are your biggest distraction. If that’s the case, try setting up some homework boundaries. Let them know when you’ll be working on homework every day, and ask them if they’ll help you keep a quiet environment. They’ll be happy to lend a hand! 

#2: Limit Your Access to Technology 

We know, we know...this tip isn’t fun, but it does work. For homework that doesn’t require a computer, like handouts or worksheets, it’s best to put all your technology away . Turn off your television, put your phone and laptop in your backpack, and silence notifications on any wearable tech you may be sporting. If you listen to music while you work, that’s fine...but make sure you have a playlist set up so you’re not shuffling through songs once you get started on your homework. 

If your homework requires your laptop or tablet, it can be harder to limit your access to distractions. But it’s not impossible! T here are apps you can download that will block certain websites while you’re working so that you’re not tempted to scroll through Twitter or check your Facebook feed. Silence notifications and text messages on your computer, and don’t open your email account unless you absolutely have to. And if you don’t need access to the internet to complete your assignments, turn off your WiFi. Cutting out the online chatter is a great way to make sure you’re getting your homework done. 

#3: Set a Timer (the Pomodoro Technique)

Have you ever heard of the Pomodoro technique ? It’s a productivity hack that uses a timer to help you focus!

Here’s how it works: first, set a timer for 25 minutes. This is going to be your work time. During this 25 minutes, all you can do is work on whatever homework assignment you have in front of you. No email, no text messaging, no phone calls—just homework. When that timer goes off, you get to take a 5 minute break. Every time you go through one of these cycles, it’s called a “pomodoro.” For every four pomodoros you complete, you can take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes.

The pomodoro technique works through a combination of boundary setting and rewards. First, it gives you a finite amount of time to focus, so you know that you only have to work really hard for 25 minutes. Once you’ve done that, you’re rewarded with a short break where you can do whatever you want. Additionally, tracking how many pomodoros you complete can help you see how long you’re really working on your homework. (Once you start using our focus tips, you may find it doesn’t take as long as you thought!)

Two Bonus Tips for How to Do Homework Fast

Even if you’re doing everything right, there will be times when you just need to get your homework done as fast as possible. (Why do teachers always have projects due in the same week? The world may never know.)

The problem with speeding through homework is that it’s easy to make mistakes. While turning in an assignment is always better than not submitting anything at all, you want to make sure that you’re not compromising quality for speed. Simply put, the goal is to get your homework done quickly and still make a good grade on the assignment! 

Here are our two bonus tips for getting a decent grade on your homework assignments , even when you’re in a time crunch. 

#1: Do the Easy Parts First 

This is especially true if you’re working on a handout with multiple questions. Before you start working on the assignment, read through all the questions and problems. As you do, make a mark beside the questions you think are “easy” to answer . 

Once you’ve finished going through the whole assignment, you can answer these questions first. Getting the easy questions out of the way as quickly as possible lets you spend more time on the trickier portions of your homework, which will maximize your assignment grade. 

(Quick note: this is also a good strategy to use on timed assignments and tests, like the SAT and the ACT !) 

#2: Pay Attention in Class 

Homework gets a lot easier when you’re actively learning the material. Teachers aren’t giving you homework because they’re mean or trying to ruin your weekend... it’s because they want you to really understand the course material. Homework is designed to reinforce what you’re already learning in class so you’ll be ready to tackle harder concepts later.

When you pay attention in class, ask questions, and take good notes, you’re absorbing the information you’ll need to succeed on your homework assignments. (You’re stuck in class anyway, so you might as well make the most of it!) Not only will paying attention in class make your homework less confusing, it will also help it go much faster, too.

What’s Next?

If you’re looking to improve your productivity beyond homework, a good place to begin is with time management. After all, we only have so much time in a day...so it’s important to get the most out of it!

And a large number of students lay down to do their homework. It is one of the worst positions to do homework because when we lie down, it increases the activity in the parasympathetic nervous system. Biologically, when we lie down, our body starts to function as if we were resting and digesting.

5. Stay Hydrated

60% of the human body is made of water. It means that water is an essential element of our body. Our bodies perform poorly when there is a lack of water in them.And our brain also sends signals to get to sleep as soon as possible to save energy.

Therefore, it is highly recommended to stay hydrated while doing your homework. Dehydration can lead to massive energy loss in a short time. In a recent study, it was proven that dehydration affects brain functions. Moderate levels of dehydration can lead to short-term memory loss, lack of concentration, focus, and alertness.

So stay hydrated throughout the time you are doing your homework. You can drink plenty of water while doing your homework. It will help you maintain the water level in your body. Don’t drink excessive water. It should depend on the climate and weather conditions.

1. Break It Down

If your to-do list seems too large, try breaking it down into smaller, more manageable chunks.

Have 10 chapters of your textbook to read? Try reading the first paragraph only. Need to write a 1000-word paper? Start by writing the first sentence. Treat each chunk as a mini-goal that can be easily achieved. Soon enough, you’ll be surprised by how much work you’re able to accomplish already, and the momentum will keep you going.

The right visuals can be game-changers for your work sessions. A captivating background or well-designed tool can make the difference between slogging through your work and truly enjoying it. When your workspace is a feast for the eyes, you’re naturally more inclined to hunker down and get things done.

The homework you’re doing might seem insignificant right now, but it’s slowly building the way for future successes in life.

6. Progress over Perfection

One of the main reasons why students usually procrastinate doing homework is the desire to do it perfectly — but this unhealthy need for perfection might be what’s killing your productivity and motivation. If you’ve spent the last three hours trying to curate the perfect plan to do your assignment, you’re probably doing it wrong. Just get started, and let the momentum guide you! You can always come back and improve later on.

7. Look for Inspiration

Reading self help books, watching study vlogs, or listening to podcasts are all effective means to learn how to stay motivated and boost your productivity. Don’t worry, motivation also often comes from the most unexpected places — a random sticky note, an unexpected text message, or a line from your favorite TV show character.

Check out our curated list of the best study motivation movies to get going with a dose of inspiration!

8. Rest When Needed

Knowing you have loads of schoolwork coming is stressful enough. Maximize the long breaks between Pomodoro sessions by grabbing a snack, doing breathing exercises , stretching, or taking a nap. Having a good amount of rest is a part of being productive and staying motivated.

Understanding Your Daytime Sleepiness

Not all daytime sleepiness is created equal! Your daytime sleepiness may be the result of poor sleep hygiene or an underlying health problem. We’ll talk about some of the more serious causes first; your daytime sleepiness may be the result of an undiagnosed medical condition. Once you’ve spoken to a doctor and either gotten a diagnosis or ruled these conditions out, you can feel more confident that your daytime sleepiness is a sleep schedule issue.

Undiagnosed Health Issues: Sleep Apnea

There are several health issues that can cause excessive daytime sleepiness, the most well-known of which is obstructive sleep apnea.

This is a condition where your sleep is disrupted by pauses in breathing. These pauses, called apneas, can last for a few seconds to minutes and may occur several times throughout the night. These repeated disruptions lead to fragmented sleep, which is a direct cause of daytime drowsiness.

There are three types of sleep apnea: obstructive, central, and combined.

• Obstructive sleep apnea  happens when the muscles in the throat relax and block the airway, leading to disrupted breathing.
• Central sleep apnea  is much less common and occurs when your brain doesn’t send the correct signals to the muscles that control breathing.
• Combined sleep apnea is the least common type of sleep apnea. It is actually related to the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea using a CPAP machine. This type of sleep apnea may originally present as obstructive sleep apnea, but CPAP therapy can trigger central sleep apnea events.

All forms of sleep apnea are serious, but the good news is that they can be treated. A doctor can order a sleep study, which is how sleep apnea is diagnosed. From there, you can try different types of treatment to find one that works for you.

Other Health Issues

While sleep apnea is an extremely common sleep disorder, affecting between 10% to 30% of adults in the United States , there are other conditions that can lead to excessive daytime sleepiness. Many of these conditions have more serious potential consequences than just drowsiness; excessive daytime sleepiness can be a sign of a more serious problem, so you should discuss it with your doctor.

• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) : This disorder is characterized by extreme fatigue that does not go away with rest. Individuals with CFS often experience unrefreshing sleep and may struggle with daytime sleepiness. It is a complex disorder, and the exact cause is unknown.
• Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder (DSPD) : People with this disorder have a persistent pattern of delayed sleep-wake timing. Their internal body clock is naturally delayed, so it’s challenging for them to fall asleep and wake up at socially “normal” times.
• Depression : Depression and other mental health disorders can lead to nighttime insomnia and daytime sleepiness. Depression can also have oversleeping as a symptom or reaction to exhaustion and fatigue.
• Diabetes : Low blood sugar can lead to involuntary microsleeps during the day.
• Insomnia : Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep at night. People with insomnia may find themselves exhausted during the day, and are prone to involuntary microsleeps. Chronic insomnia can result in a sleep debt that manifests as excessive sleepiness during the day.
• Iron Deficiency/Anemia : Iron is necessary for your cells to carry oxygen to your tissues and organs. Without sufficient iron, your body has a hard time staying awake.
• Medication Side Effects : Certain medications, such as sedatives, antihistamines, muscle relaxants, or some antidepressants, may have drowsiness as a side effect. This can lead to difficulties staying awake during the day.  
• Narcolepsy : People with narcolepsy cannot control when they fall asleep, which may lead to unwanted sleeping at work or school.
• Neurological Disorders : Conditions like Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis can affect your brain’s ability to control sleep-wake regulation. This can lead to excessive daytime sleepiness or sudden episodes of nodding off. If you have a family history of either of these conditions, you should definitely discuss your daytime sleepiness with your physician.
• Sleep-Wake Cycle Disorders : Disturbances to the body’s internal clock, such as shift work sleep disorder or jet lag, can disrupt the sleep-wake cycle and contribute to daytime sleepiness or microsleeps. Fortunately, these are often temporary; the excessive daytime sleepiness will go away once your body adjusts to a new time zone or work shift.

Sleep Hygiene

If there’s no medical reason for your excessive daytime sleepiness, it may be related to the amount of sleep you get each night and the quality of that sleep. Sleep hygiene refers to the practices and habits that set you up for a good night’s sleep. If you don’t have a consistent sleeping schedule or your bedroom is too bright, too warm, or too uncomfortable, you may find yourself feeling tired during the day.  

The Negative Effects of Daytime Sleepiness

You might find yourself wondering what the big deal about daytime sleepiness is. Everybody gets tired, right? The reality is that daytime sleepiness can have serious negative effects on your life. Daytime drowsiness is often more than just feeling tired; it is frequently a symptom of a larger problem. But it can also contribute to or create other problems in different areas of your life. Here are just a few of the major negative impacts of daytime drowsiness.

Decreased Alertness and Concentration

If you’re too tired to focus or function during the day, you will have issues paying attention and retaining information. This will negatively impact your productivity and performance, and your overall learning abilities will suffer.

Increased Risk of Accidents

Daytime sleepiness can impair reaction times and decision-making skills, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries while driving, operating machinery, or engaging in other activities that require alertness. This is especially important if you drive; drowsy driving is just as dangerous as drunk driving . Getting less than five hours of sleep quadruples your chances of getting into an accident.

Mood Issues

Daytime sleepiness can contribute to mood disturbances, mood swings, and irritability. It can also make you more susceptible to stress, and make mental health conditions like depression and anxiety worse.

Decreased Productivity and Performance

Daytime sleepiness can lead to decreased productivity and performance in various aspects of life, including work, academics, and personal responsibilities. It may take you longer to complete tasks, make decisions, or solve problems due to reduced mental sharpness and alertness from daytime exhaustion. Nodding off can make you seem like you aren’t taking work or class seriously, and can be insulting to supervisors and instructors– even if you can’t help it.

The lack of sufficient sleep can also make it harder to consolidate memories, which negatively impacts your learning abilities . If you’re suffering from excessive daytime sleepiness, you will have a harder time recalling information, retaining knowledge, and performing memory-related tasks. Think about what that might mean for your tasks at work or your testing ability at school– you’ll quickly realize that this is a performance issue you do not want to deal with.

Impaired Physical Health.

Chronic daytime sleepiness is associated with an increased risk of various physical health problems, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and weakened immune function. It can also contribute to a sedentary lifestyle and reduced motivation for physical activity. This creates a vicious cycle of exhaustion and reduced physical activity, which can lead to some serious consequences  as you age.

Overall, daytime sleepiness can significantly impact your quality of life. It affects every aspect of your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It can lead to a decreased enjoyment of your daily life and limit your participation in social events. You’ll be left with an overall sense of fatigue and lethargy– and that’s not something you should have to worry about. You don’t deserve to constantly be sleepy; instead, you can take control of your daytime drowsiness with the following science-backed tips for staying awake during the day.

How To Stay Awake During The Day

So now that you know why you might be feeling excessive daytime sleepiness and the risks of letting your daytime sleepiness go unaddressed, let’s talk about how to stay awake during class and how to stay awake at the office. These tips will help you overcome daytime drowsiness, making you feel more alert and ready to learn or work. A good night’s sleep can help improve your performance at work or your GPA , and your managers and professors won’t be against it, either!

Improve Your Sleep Hygiene

One of the easy answers to the question of how to feel less tired in class is to improve your sleep hygiene. This means making your bedroom a more comfortable place to sleep and going to bed at a consistent time every night.

Here are some key elements to creating better sleep hygiene:

• Establish a consistent sleep schedule, even on weekends, to keep your circadian rhythm in good standing.
• Create a sleep-friendly environment by keeping your bedroom dark, quiet, and cool.
• Avoid stimulants (e.g., energy drinks, coffee, nicotine) and depressants (e.g., alcohol) close to bedtime.
• Establish a relaxing pre-sleep routine to signal to your body that it’s time to go to sleep.
• Engage in regular physical activity. Even a short walk each day can help!
• Avoid heavy meals, spicy or fatty foods, or excessive fluid intake right before bed.
• Invest in a supportive mattress, comfortable pillows, and breathable bedding.
• Reserve your bed for sleep and intimacy; try to avoid working, studying, using electronic devices, or eating in bed.

Limit Screen Time

Blue light can disrupt your natural sleep cycle , so avoid looking at bright screens at least 2 to 3 hours before bedtime. If you work late, wear a pair of blue light-blocking glasses or install a color-shifting app that filters the blue/green wavelength at night.

Chewing gum  is one of the easiest ways to deal with daytime drowsiness. This may be related to the activity of chewing, which draws blood to the head and increases cerebral activity. It also may be related to the flavor of the gum; mint  is known to be a stimulating flavor that can improve focus and concentration.

Drink Coffee or Tea in Moderation

Caffeine can provide a good boost of energy, but it can also interfere with your ability to get to sleep at night. You can drink caffeinated beverages in moderation, but you should stop drinking them after lunch , or at least not much later than 2:00 to 3:00 PM. This ensures that all the caffeine metabolizes and you aren’t kept awake when it’s time for bed. If you decide to go with energy drinks, such as Red Bull or Monster, be aware that they might have too much caffeine, as well as way too much sugar. Try to choose the low-sugar or no-sugar energy drinks option, if you must; better yet, stick with coffee or caffeinated tea for a natural pick-me-up.

Get The Right Amount of Sleep

If you’re asking how to feel less tired at work, the answer may be related to how much – or how little – sleep you’re getting. The American Sleep Foundation recommends that all adults over the age of 18 get at least 7 hours of sleep per night . Getting quality sleep is one of the best ways to reduce sleepiness, of course, as well as to stay awake in class day after day.

Seek Medical Intervention

If you have a sleep disorder like sleep apnea, there are medical interventions available. CPAP, or continuous positive airway pressure, is one of the most common sleep apnea treatments. This is a machine that delivers a constant and steady flow of pressurized air, keeping your airway open and letting you get uninterrupted sleep.

There are other medical interventions that can help with interrupted sleep, too. Oral appliances  and positional therapy can also help with sleep apnea.

Watch Your Posture

A hunched-over posture can actually lead to muscle fatigue , which can make you feel tired. When you’re at your desk, make sure that you’re sitting up straight . Your ankles should be in front of your knees, and your knees and forearms should be parallel to the floor. Try to relax your shoulders- don’t keep them too rounded or too flexed– and make sure that you’re looking forward as much as possible to prevent neck strain.

Use Stimulating Scents

Some essential oils  have clinical research  supporting claims that they can help you stay awake and improve focus . Please keep in mind that this is for aromatherapy only; do not ingest these oils. If you want to try aromatherapy, the following essential oils smell great and have research supporting their use:

• Peppermint oil
• Rosemary oil
• Spearmint oil
• Sweet orange oil

If you’re in a tight office setting or in a big class, be careful with introducing scent– some people have scent sensitivities and will have negative reactions to you bringing aromatherapy into a space. It’s best to get approval first so that you aren’t hurting anybody.

Get Natural Light Exposure

Exposure to bright, natural light helps you stay awake. It helps you wake up in the morning and sustains your energy throughout the day– but almost half of Americans  aren’t exposed to bright natural light during the day.

If you’re struggling to figure out how to feel more energy during class, step outside between classes and let yourself soak up some sun. Even a little bit of bright natural light can put some pep in your step that wasn’t there before. At the office, take your breaks outside, or open a window in the break room to let the sunshine in.

If you really can’t get exposure to natural light, or you’re struggling with light exposure during dark winter months, sun lamps can help with this problem, too. Light therapy  can help with insomnia and improve your circadian rhythm, making it easier to fall asleep at night and wake up in the morning. This reduces your daytime sleepiness!

Turn The Thermostat Down

You might not have control over the temperature at the office or in the classroom, but it never hurts to ask. Heat makes you drowsy , and if you’re in a space with low airflow, like a small classroom or office, the combination of warmth and still air can significantly impact your ability to stay awake.

Play Brain Games

Mental stimulation is a great way to stave off sleepiness. This is especially true if you’re working in an environment that requires lots of repetitive tasks. Taking short breaks for a little bit of mental stimulation, like word puzzles, crosswords, sudoku, or other games can help keep you awake and shake off the midday doldrums.

Stay Hydrated

Your brain and body need lots of water to function properly. Even minor dehydration can make you feel sluggish, drowsy, and mentally exhausted. Drinking water has been shown to increase alertness , no matter how thirsty you are. So if you feel yourself nodding off, take a drink! If you’re in class, carry a water bottle with you so that you don’t have to get up and miss any information.

Get Physical Activity

Moderate physical activity during the day is a great way to get your heart pumping, your blood oxygen flowing , your metabolic rate up, and your mind more alert. This doesn’t mean you need to do a full workout during your lunch break– you don’t want to overdo it and feel fatigued. What you want to do is get out and take a brisk walk, do some easy yoga poses, or perform other short, easy activities that let you stretch and move. Not only will you feel more comfortable and energetic, but exercise can also even boost your memory  and cognitive skills!

Eat a Snack

Sometimes your daytime sleepiness isn’t caused by an issue with your sleep or an underlying medical condition. Sometimes you just need more energy! If you don’t have enough calories and nutrients to keep your body fueled during the day, you’ll start to feel sleepy.

The type of snack you eat matters, too. Snacks with high amounts of carbohydrates will give you a quick burst of energy, while snacks with higher amounts of protein and fat take longer to digest– meaning they’ll keep you going for longer. Snacks with high amounts of fiber are great for sustained energy since fiber makes you feel full and takes longer to digest than other types of carbohydrates.

Some good snacks for work or class include:

• Peanut butter and veggies or crackers
• Yogurt with granola and nuts
• String cheese
• Fresh fruit

Avoid Alcohol Before Bed

Alcohol is a depressant, which can make you sleepy, so many people use it to help them get to sleep. Unfortunately, alcohol-induced sleep is often poor quality and disrupted during the night. The morning after isn’t much fun, either, so avoid drinking alcohol too close to bedtime.

Practice Breathing Exercises

There are different breathing techniques  that you can use to improve your alertness and focus during the day.

One such technique is deep breathing. Deep breathing raises your blood oxygen levels, which in turn improves circulation, lowers blood pressure, and aids your mental performance and energy. For this type of breathing, you want to breathe with your diaphragm, not your chest. If you don’t know how to breathe with your diaphragm, lie on your back on a hard surface like the floor. Your body will automatically breathe with your diaphragm, letting you learn what this muscle movement feels like.

Once you know how to control your diaphragm, you can do this exercise at your desk.

• Sit up straight with your feet flat on the floor.
• With one hand on your belly just below your ribs and the other on your chest, inhale deeply through your nose. Your chest should not move.
• Breathe out through your mouth.
• Repeat 9 times for 10 breath cycles.

How to Stay Focused on Homework: 13 Easy Tips

Whether you’re a 15 year old and trying to pass the 10th grade or doing your Master’s degree and trying to complete the required reading, learning how to stay focused on homework is a lifelong skill that can feel boring and painful at times, but is necessary.

We learn to dread homework growing up, viewing it as the thing that gets in the way of our recreational time.

Who wants to be doing math problems when they could be outside playing with their friends?

Who wants to deal with pages of required reading or worry about staying focused when studying when they could be watching the latest bingeworthy shows on Netflix?

I’m not here to argue for or against the necessity of homework itself, but instead that sometimes, doing homework is a part of life.

And if we want to succeed in life, we have to do the homework.

We have to get motivated to write that essay , we have to get motivated to study , and we have to learn to stay focused on our goals .

Staying focused on homework when there are so many other distractions competing for our attention can be difficult, so in this post we’re going to get real, get honest, and talk about how to stay focused on homework even when you’d rather be doing anything else.

Study Tools You Need RIght Now

1. See How Fast You Can Get it Done Accurately

Getting your homework done quickly is usually the goal for most people, and while you don’t want to sacrifice accuracy, making a game out of it and seeing how fast you can get your homework done is usually a great way to stay focused on your homework.

There is a theory that we use as much time for tasks as we give ourselves, so it may be that actually you can write a good essay in 2 hours, when normally you would take 6 hours.

How much of that 6 hours is spent being distracted and wandering around your room aimlessly?

When we limit our time, we can get things done faster.

This isn’t to say that you should try and do 56 math problems in 2 minutes or sacrifice actually learning the material, but making a game to see how fast you can accurately do your homework is a great way to stay focused because now instead of just trying to focus on the content, you are focused on the goal of completing it and that will carry you through when it gets hard to stay focused.

2. Give Yourself a Reward When You Finish

It’s the only trick in the book, but that’s because it works and is one of my best productivity tips .

If you’re find it difficult to stay focused on your homework, make sure to promise yourself some sort of award when you finish.

For example, if you finish your book report, you can watch 30 minutes of your favorite TV show.

If you finish your math problems, you can have the snack you’ve been wanting since you got home.

Those of us adults with homework can also do this, but in bigger ways.

When you finish your dissertation, reward yourself by buying the new purse you’ve been keeping your eye on.

When you finish your physics problems, you can call a friend and go meet up for dinner.

Human nature is to work best when we are working towards something, and this is another way of keeping you focused on your homework by keeping you focused on the reward that will come from staying focused and completing your goal.

3. Find a New Way to Study

Sometimes, focus comes down to what you’re actually doing to learn the material.

For instance, I never learned well just rereading my notes to study for tests, and I found it much easier to use index cards to create questions and quiz myself with.

If part of your homework is studying for a test or something that you’re able to do in a way that makes more sense to you, do that!

We had quite a few projects that I was able to be more creative on that really helped keep me focused on working on them because I was much more interested.

If you’re having major problems focusing on your homework, check to see that you’re picking topics that really interest you, where possible, or talk to your teachers or professors to let them know that you’re struggling and see if they have any creative suggestions on how you could learn the material.

You can also use something like ClickUp to help you organize your homework and studying virtually.

4. Create a Study Group and Set a Goal

Study groups aren’t always good for focusing on homework because by the end of it, you’ve devolved into planning your Spring Break and no one has stuck to the plan or gotten much work done.

However, I like study groups as a way to stay focused on school work when you have a goal in mind. For instance, you could meet up and say you’re not going to leave the library until you’ve finished the project or you could say you’re not going to leave until you all feel confident that you could pass a test on Chapter 7 or you won’t finish until everyone has finished and understands how to do all of the math problems.

Having a study group just to have a study group isn’t always helpful, but with a clear outcome in mind, you can at least try and keep the socializing to a minimum until you go out and celebrate later for having finished.

You can also do it virtually with a platform like Zoom , which I talk about in my list of productivity tools .

This is also a great time to actually be honest with yourself about who that you know would make a good study group.

5. Do the Hardest Homework First

Our ability to focus goes down the longer we work on something, so if you have 4 hours of homework in 4 different subjects, you should start with what you find hardest first when your focus can be at its peak.

By the time you reach the fourth hour, you may be really wishing you had something that was much easier to focus on because you will naturally lose the willpower and ability to stay focused for that long.

This sometimes goes against our natural inclinations to save the hardest homework for last because we don’t want to deal with it until later, but putting it off makes it even harder to focus.

6. Listen to Instrumental Music

For some people, music can help keep them stay calm when stressed and is a good idea when trying to focus on homework, but make sure it’s the right kind of music.

For me, music with words is actually really difficult to have on in the background while I work on something also related to words (reading or writing or trying to understand concepts) because it uses that part of my brain to try and sing along.

I find that instrumental music is much better, whether it’s just basic instrumental music, instrumental covers of my favorite songs, or dedicated study playlists that use music that is actually thought to improve your concentration based on the tones of the sounds it creates.

You can find tons of these on Youtube and just put it on in the background as you try to get to work.

7. Create Your Perfect Environment

Equally, some of us find it super hard to focus with any noises in the background.

The aim of the game when it comes to focusing on homework has to do with creating your perfect environment and testing different environments to see what works for you.

Some people will find it easy to work in a library filled with other people working and walking around, while others will want to be in a cubicle with nothing else going on around them.

Some will want complete silence, others will want to blare music.

You should also think about the actual physical way you do your homework and whether that’s helping you.

There is a big difference for some people in the ability to focus when you’re laying down on your bed versus sitting at a dedicated desk, or working outside versus working inside.

Create the best environment you can before you get started on your homework and you’ll make it that much easier for yourself to focus.

8. Complete It In 20 Minute Chunks

Most people can focus for about 15-30 minutes before needing a quick break to look at something else or just stop looking at whatever they’re working on for a minute or two.

If you chunk your homework down into 20 minute chunks and aim to complete one at a time, this is actually a really useful way to stay focused because it’s not as daunting and you can focus on getting through one chunk at a time.

You can do this in so many ways, like chunking down the math problems and doing 10 at a time before you take a break, or reading a certain number of pages before you take 5 minutes to look up from your book.

Do everything in your power to make focusing seem less challenging, and your mind and body will more easily cooperate.

9. Get a Tutor

Sometimes, a study group of your friends isn’t necessarily the best idea under many circumstances, but a tutor almost always is.

Unlike a social companion, they’re there basically to help you focus on studying and to help coach you through anything you find difficult.

Having that external person who is sitting with you and helping you chunk down your work and setting goals for you is exactly what some people need to get their homework done in a productive way.

The level of tutor you need depends on what you’re working on.

If you just want someone to help you with the material who has done it before, you could ask someone a few grades above you to help out.

Equally, some families hire tutors for children with learning disabilities or those who are really struggling in a topic, and in this case the tutor may have a lot more experience in behavior and helping people to get the work done that goes beyond having done it beore.

10. Plan to Teach it to Others

Teaching the material to others is always a great way to help yourself stay focused when learning, because believe it or not, you’re learning to!

I used to teach my stuffed animals the material after I had done some homework on it, but you can also try and teach it to anyone to see how much you remember.

Many times, this transition into an active way of learning rather than passive is a great way to stay focused on studying and get things done instead of just hoping you remember it.

11. Use Website Blockers on Your Computer

If your problems with staying focused on your homework come down to other distractions, you can install plenty of software on your computer or phone that actually block certain websites when you tell them to.

You could block social media so you’re not taking breaks to scroll Instagram, block the entire internet or turn off the WiFi if you’re trying to focus on reading but can’t help continue to go on Reddit every couple of minutes, etc.

Staying focused isn’t just a “you” problem, it is a pretty prevalent human problem, especially in the modern world where we have more distractions than ever before.

So be strong, block the websites and apps, and then get down to business.

Not giving yourself the option to go on them means you don’t have to use up willpower trying not to.

You could also do this by giving someone else your password to your social media accounts and having them change it and not telling you what it is so it’s impossible for you to get in.

12. Make a To-Do List with Color Coding

For us visual people, making color coded to-do lists isn’t just an Instagrammable organizational tip, but a big life hack that helps us stay on track and be more productive.

If you’re struggling with your homework and staying focused, make a list each day of exactly what you need to do and use color codings, post-it notes or another visual way of checking things off to work through your list.

The more that you visually see completed on the paper, the more motivated you’ll be to keep staying focused and getting through the rest.

When you don’t have a list, it can feel like you’re not making any progress.

13. Use a Highlighter When Reading

If your homework involves reading or studying, you can also take an active role in this by using a highlighter to highlight important passages or use a pen to make notes next to the reading as you go.

This is proven to keep you more engaged in the material, which in turn will keep you more focused on your reading.

When you’re forcing yourself to engage with and respond to the material, you’re much more likely to remember and stay focused on it as opposed to what happens when you just passively read a book or read over your notes.

When you have mountains of homework and studying ahead, getting started can seem like an impossible task. We’ll teach you how to get into the right frame of mind before you start studying and shake yourself out of a motivation slump. Read on to learn how to stop procrastinating on studying, focus even when you're tired, and get motivated to do your schoolwork!

Start with your easiest task to get the ball rolling.

• If you write a quick list of your tasks, it’ll lower the effort of making decisions, and you’ll find it easier to shift from one task to the next.

Try the Pomodoro Technique.

• With the Pomodoro Technique, each 25-minute block is called a Pomodoro, and you can set another 5-minute timer for a quick break in between Pomodoros.
• If 25 minutes seems too short, feel free to keep working past the timer; the point is to get you started.

Break down your work into smaller pieces.

• It’s easy to get overwhelmed by a huge amount of homework and seemingly endless assignments. But rather than worrying, “How will I ever finish this assignment?” ask yourself, “How much of this assignment can I accomplish in 2 hours?”
• Instead of trying to read a whole book, set a goal you can accomplish in one sitting. For instance, read 1 chapter or 50 pages at a time. [6] X Trustworthy Source Harvard Business Review Online and print journal covering topics related to business management practices Go to source
• When prepping for a test , review your lecture notes from just the first week of the semester today, then focus your notes from the second week tomorrow.

Tidy up your workspace.

• Consider making your study space warm and inviting so you look forward to spending time there. Decorate the walls with photos of you and your friends, place a cheerful house plant on your desk, and choose a comfy chair to sit in.

Reward yourself when you complete a task.

• Have a snack , but shy away from snacking on too many sugary treats early on. Nobody likes a sugar crash! Save sweet treats until the last leg of your study marathon to give you a boost.
• If you decide to reward yourself with a quick break from studying, remember that you will eventually have to get back to work. Set a time limit for your break and don't listen to the voice in your head pleading for "just a few more minutes."

Take a break to move around.

• These activities will give you a burst of energy and will improve your mood. Plus they’ll help get your brain into a receptive state, which will make your studying more effective. [10] X Research source
• A little movement can help you build momentum that’ll lead you into a productive study session.

Look up podcasts or videos to shake up your studying.

• Set time limits to help yourself stay on track, and reward yourself by exploring interesting tangents after you’ve met your study goals.

Crank up your favorite study tunes.

• The right music will help relax your mind and sharpen your focus. [12] X Research source
• Try modern takes on classical piano or solo guitar or tune into your favorite movie soundtrack.
• Speed things up with an electro-swing playlist or chill out with a mix of lo-fi beats.
• Search your favorite music app for playlists designed to help you focus on your work, like “Songs for Studying” or “Study Beats.” You can also try "body-doubling" (working alongside someone else who is also working & letting their presence calm you) with the Lo-Fi Girl YouTube stream.

Freshen up and put on some comfortable clothing.

• Make sure your study outfits don’t feel too much like your sleepwear or you might start to doze off.

Work with your friends or a tutor.

• Look for a tutor at your school or consult a private tutoring agency.
• In a study group, each person could volunteer to tackle a different sub-topic, then you could all share your study materials with each other. [14] X Research source
• Reserve a study room, bring snacks, or gamify your studying to make the work more enjoyable.
• Start working well ahead of time in case your peers fail to meet the group goals and to make sure you have time to brush up on certain subjects independently.

Create visual aids for a fun, efficient study tool.

• Rather than skimming vocab words from a PDF or textbook, rewriting the words and definitions in your own handwriting with a fun-colored pen might help you retain the information better.

Use classic study tricks to memorize facts.

Focus on your long-term goals.

• If you’re hoping to attend college or earn a scholarship, think about how each small study session will get you 1 step closer to your dreams.
• Use your long-term goals as motivation to keep pushing yourself.

Set up your computer.

• If you’re easily distracted but need to use a computer as a reading or research tool, consider printing out the material to help you stay on task. [20] X Research source
• If you need to use the computer solely as a word processor or PDF viewer, disconnect it from Wi-Fi or station yourself in a no-Wi-Fi zone so you’re not tempted to go online.
• When computer use isn’t necessary for your studies, turn yours off and stow it away.

Silence or shut off your cell phone.

• Keep your phone out of sight so you won't be tempted to keep taking a sneak peek.

Stay hydrated and keep a snack on hand.

• Avoid studying right after a big meal; you’ll just feel drowsy and will want to relax.
• Don’t put off a meal as a reward, as your aching stomach will be distracting. Make sure you have a snack on hand to fend off your hunger.
• Avoid sugary vending machine snacks, fast food, and pastries; these foods will give you a short energy rush that quickly turns into sleepiness.

Figure out your ideal study environment and methods.

• Think back to past study sessions that went especially well, and others that didn’t go well at all, to assess which factors help and hinder your progress.
• If you’re able to develop a personalized study system, studying will be a lot less stressful for you.

Design a study guide that works for you.

• If the textbook’s section heading reads, “Anthropomorphic Themes in Fairy Tales,” your study question could be, “Can I describe the use of anthropomorphic themes in fairy tales?”
• Look online for study guide templates and examples as a starting point.

Try freewriting or journaling to identify why you procrastinate.

• If it helps to vent to a friend, just make sure they’re willing to listen and you’re not going to distract them from their own studies.

Be kind to yourself about your procrastination habits.

• Avoid comparing yourself to other classmates who seem to be doing well. Everyone learns and works differently, so focus on your own needs and capabilities!
• Using positive self-talk helps create a growth mindset that can help you overcome difficulties.

Give yourself time limits.

• Telling yourself, "I'll have to study sometime this week" will encourage procrastination, but “I’m going to study from 6 PM to 9 PM on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday” will help you stick to your plan. [32] X Research source
• Try sticking to a regular schedule, but feel free to break your usual routine if you need to shake things up. For instance, get a good night’s sleep and set your alarm for 7:00 AM to study on Sunday morning. It might be easier to get up and get started right away since you’ve planned it in advance.
• The more specific and intentional you can be about scheduling out your study tasks, the more success you’ll have with your studies and time management .

Need to learn how to do homework  faster ? Go no further if you are one of those students wondering whether the amount of assignments is fair and how to manage your busy schedule successfully. In this blog post, our academic writing experts share insights into how to finish homework tasks until your deadline expires without sacrificing quality. This article explains what a healthy amount of assignments is and gives a hint on how to do your homework without delays. Do you have a tough deadline? Consider using an expert academic service that can easily help with assignments. Say ' do my homework for me ' and get any task done quickly and on time.

Doing homework should help students digest gained knowledge. Children are not robots, but many teachers forget about this and assign lots of school work and tons of homework assignments . Even 4th-grade kids complain about having at least 5 subjects per night.  What is a professional opinion? Most experts suggest that an average school child should spend no more than 20 minutes per day solving after-class assignments in the 1st grade . Time for tasks increases by 10 minutes with each new grade. It doesn't mean that high school graduates should spend countless hours on after-class tasks every day. If the 10-minute rule is broken, students may face stressful situations. Is it fair? No, it's not. For this reason, you should know how to get homework done faster , no matter which grade you are studying in. Let's dig deeper into the ways to finish homework assignments with the help of these inspiring tips for students .

If you are a high-school or college student, you may wonder how to get homework done fast. In most cases, it's procrastination and distraction that prevents students from finishing assignments. Any distraction in the surrounding environment may cause procrastination – a student gets stuck in the start/middle of the writing process.  You can overcome this phenomenon by using these simple tips on how to do homework without getting distracted. 

• Do your assignment in a well-lit place. Your workspace should be well-lit, meaning the light is okay for the student's eyes during the reading or writing process.
• Choose the right place. The worst places to do the assignments are the floor and bed because you may feel uncomfortable and experience difficulties focusing on the process. Choose a sofa/chair near the table to start doing school work. Doing homework in a bed may result in a deep sleep.
• Isolate yourself from electronic devices . Any type of online communication is not a good idea while a student is doing the tasks. Turn off the social network accounts. Read the messages from friends later. Online or phone communication is not urgent as your school or college assignment is. 
• Prepare necessary resources. Make sure you have all the things you will need to get your homework finished. These are books, notes, computers, some special tools, papers, pens., etc.
• Set up website-blocking applications. If you constantly get distracted by messages from your friends, install any website-blocking app available online. This tool helps prevent yourself from visiting gaming websites or social networks.
• Have some healthy snacks. No coffee, sweets, or other snacks that contain a lot of sugar would be an option. On the other hand, healthy snacks such as nuts, fruits, and vegetables would be nutritional for your brain. Also, remember to drink fresh water.
• Track time you spend on tasks. Decide on the amount of time required for task completion and set the alarm. If you fail to complete this mission before your deadline, it's time to find a fresh approach. Your timer will show how good you are at time management.
• Ask for assistance. Seeking homework help is okay, but do not get involved in a long conversation. Turning to your professor or asking your classmates for pieces of advice would be a great idea. Also you can find many useful resources online (e.g., websites for homework answers ).

How to Motivate Yourself to Do Homework 

Read the tips that will help you find motivation to do your homework. Here's  how to get motivated to do homework :

• Think of the consequences. What if you fail to do your homework? Although it may not be very pleasant, think about consequences you may face after leaving your schoolwork for the last minute. How will you feel when submitting the task or receiving your grades for it. It might motivate you to start doing assignments in advance.
• Take a break when tired. Studying without a break does more harm than good. Take a brief 5-10-minute break every 30 minutes so that your brain and eyes have some rest from hard work. It would be great to have a walk as fresh air stimulates brain activity.
• Always reward yourself. How to get motivated to do homework? A good motivation is some reward a student can get after finishing an assignment. That is what makes the study process so much fun. If your parents do not pay you, come up with personal prizes to motivate yourself (examples: sweets, 30 minutes of a favorite show, playing a favorite game for 20 minutes, getting a new piece of cloth, meeting with friends, etc.). Think about punishments as well.
• Watch your health! A student should think about health first: drink water all the time, consume healthy food (people involved in the activities requiring regular brain work lose more calories than others), and do not stay up too late. What is the benefit of being good at planning? A student with such skill will never get stuck in doing all assignments over a single night without having a healthy sleep.

How to Finish Homework Fast? 

To understand how to finish homework faster, a student should focus on planning and organizing . Your success depends on the amount of time you plan on each task. Come up with the homework plan. Do not grab the 1st textbook in the bag to start your research – it may be the wrong source to begin with. Here are the expert steps that allow doing your homework fast and easy:

• Start in advance. Do not leave your assignment for last night. Starting beforehand might save you from sleepless nights and stress. This way you will be rewarded with fantastic results. 
• Plan ahead. Think about the amount of time you need for the entire homework. Calculate the amount of time a student would require on each assignment and preparation. Use a homework planner app to keep track of your schedule.
• Make a list. Create a list of various assignments you must complete overnight. Cross tasks off while working on your homework step-by-step.
• Check your task. A great idea is to check your assignment at school or college just after receiving it. Read through it to know whether you understand the assignment well or need some help from your teacher.
• Don't postpone. Start doing homework once you return from school or college. It's important not to postpone assignments to the last minute. You can get done with after-class tasks in time and do anything you want afterward. 
• Start from complex tasks. Determine the most challenging assignments in your homework and start with them. When you get stuck on one of them, switch to a more manageable task. Once you have completed some easy assignments, it is good to return to the difficult ones.
• Set priorities. Life is about setting priorities and speaking about learning how to get homework done, it is not an exception. Write down the most valuable, urgent homework assignment given by your teacher first. This way, a student risks failing minor tasks. 

A mobile device or personal computer is a double-edged sword when it comes to solving homework assignments. On the one hand, devices such as entertainment apps and games may distract students from schoolwork. On the other hand, some applications make the learning process easier .  These unique educational tools fall into several categories:

• Fun & games

Helpers are the general name for tools that help students cope with their homework.  Checkers and generators are homework helpers. The checkers help students check written assignments for any grammar, spelling, punctuation mistakes, or typos. They can identify wordiness, wrong word choices, and other errors. Such apps also check papers for plagiarism . The generators were designed to create citations, references and generate complete paper templates. They save a lot of time as they can generate in-text citations or a complete reference list in a couple of seconds.  Fun and games is a group of applications that distract students from doing homework. If you want to cope with your homework fast, avoid gaming applications and focus on your task. If you do it quickly, you will have more time for fun.  

There are cases when you need to do your homework but don't want to. But there is a smart solution. Would you like to learn the answer? One of such solutions is the third-party application created to help students with education. There are many mobile apps for students available on the market today. Free or paid, they can help with the assignments of various difficulties: from writing English essays to learning algebra  and even creating Business plans for MBA. Scanning the web for the best educational software is essential.
