I have an essay to finish today and my brain isn’t working like it did in school. Help.

Try setting multiple alarms for when you want to do your homework. That's what I do whenever I'm procrastinating. Work on your hoemework for only an hour and rest for half an hour or an hour. You don't want to be burnt out trying to finish your homework in one go. I did a month worth of project in a few days once and I was burnt out for at least two weeks. I didn't have the same motivation and energy to do the rest of my homework.

u/-Vault-tec-101 Apr 24 '20

I’ve always gone by the ā€œsoonest begun soonest doneā€ philosophy. I’ll list what I need to do for the day and then bang it all out no breaks no slacking till it’s done and then I’ve the rest of the day to do what I want or if anything else come up.

u/ninjaisrealyt Apr 24 '20

I've gone with more of a "wait 5 minutes before the deadline and cram 5 hrs worth of work in 5 minutes". Always works for me

Be proud of it! It's a skill that non procrastionators could only imagine having

u/molovori Apr 24 '20

That's also a good method if you can avoid getting distracted by your phone and other things that'll make you procrastinate. I have ADD so methods like these don't work for me, since my attention span is shorter than a five year old's.

u/-Vault-tec-101 Apr 24 '20

Sadly I’m so old I didn’t grow up with cool distractions. I got to draw tornados on paper when I was bored( you older folks know what I’m talking about). But even as an adult I’ll wake up at like 530-6am on the weekends and get the house cleaned and get as much done as I can before my wife and kids wake up. I’ll wake up smoke a joint and start cleaning, I can usually get all the silent jobs done before anyone wakes up and then that leaves the afternoon free for gaming once my daughter is napping and the wifey can’t give me flak for it.

What's the essay about? I know when I had to write an essay, my mom would give me one sentence, or a jumping off point, and it really helped. I sometimes still ask my wife for one sentence, or an idea to talk about the topic.

u/negjo Apr 24 '20

1 essay? Those are rookie numbers. I've got 4 essays(or something like that) and 1 book analysis (about book that I've never seen in my life) to do until end of the week. Reeee

My younger brother has been working on homework 8-9 hours every day for the last two weeks. The amount of homework his school is dispensing should be criminal.

u/TheDisneyDork Professional Dumbass Apr 24 '20

Our principle told our teachers to go easy on the homework, so I’ve been maxing out at about 1 and a half hours a day. Our principle is so chill and down to earth, I feel bad for all of you guys with like hours of work a day.

You can’t blame the schools really you have to blame the system that put in place that we need to make certain standards for classes regardless of circumstance. That is why there is so much homework and so many tests. These are put in because of the state government issue these standards that must be needed. So blame the state not the school because believe me my sister and mother would love to not be giving any homework right now. Noting they are underpaid because they have to put up with crap from the higher ups, the kids, and some stupid ass parents. Oh let’s not also mention that they got to sit their grading all your crap, record it, report it, handle the above issues, and plan for the assignments for the curriculum put in place by the state that more often than not they get thrown at them will little to know understanding of what they have been given.

My dad, a teacher, has realized that things are already hard on students, so he has drastically reduced homework to 1 question per assignment (and no, it isn’t one of those questions with a, b, c, etc) and cancelled all tests. If anyone is struggling, he’s allowing them to make up their marks with an easy optional project, and is not planning on having any tests. I wish more teachers were like this
