Create a comfortable space for schoolwork
A clear desk with good lighting and a comfortable chair ensure that you are comfortable and can focus on your studies.
Be distraction-free
Turn off the TV, put away the iPod and don't check email, text your BFF or post to Facebook when you're doing homework.
Use the Web to your advantage
The wealth of free services online like
LearnNowBC's Learning Object Repository or
KhanAcademy.org can make completing assignments easier. Free tools like
Google Docs or
Microsoft Office Web Apps make it convenient to create and save your work online.
Make the time, keep a schedule
Just like brushing your teeth, homework time should be a part your daily routine. Set a regular block of time to do homework and make sure to set enough time aside to get done all that you need to.
