Students can easily get distracted from homework since there are so many potential distractions.
To remove these distractions, you might need to:
- Turn off the TV, radio, and gaming consoles.
- Turn off your cell phone or put it on vibrate.
- Clear off your study area. The less cluttered your desk is, the fewer things that could distract you.
- Promise yourself that you can make a phone call or watch TV once you have completed some of your homework. It is easier to stay focused knowing that you will have time for other stuff later.
- Turn OFF the internet -- yes, the internet! -- because studies show that just having it on in the background of the computer distracts you!
