Whenever I get home from school, I go STRAIGHT to the computer and Before I know it, it's 5:00 and I can't finish my homework or study. How do I get rid of this habbit? Thanks
Answer:
Rearrange what you do.
Set an alarm.
Save your computer stuff until after dinner.
restrict yourself from it until all other needed things are done
Dont turn it on, cover it up or take it out of the room for awhile.We will miss you.
Make limits and rewards for your self. If you finish all of your homework before 5 then you can go on the computer for the rest of the night. If you fail to do that, that you should punish your self such as not going on the computer for a week. If you continue doing your homework, say for a whole month, then you should persuade your parents to reward you with your favorite game or electronic. works ALL the time for me!
first step is that you've realized you have a problem...So how about taking a different path in your home to avoid the computer... or totally shut down the computer in the morning - so when you get home you know you'll have to reboot it and during the wait you may get over the 'urge' to get on it and do homework...
stop doing that, simple...
get rid of the computer
I have learned there is no way to break a habit..but you can replace it with a good one..my first thought is what are you going to on the computer? You KNOW you can do anything you really set your mind too.so use the computer as a reward system...IF you do your homework...etc...you get two hours on the computer...if you dont...you dont. be strong. You can do it. It may feel weird at first, but get in the habit of being in control of your actions, or you will not have a good life ahead of you.hope it helps
Don't use your computer until all your school work is done.
Sweetie tell your parents or whoever you live with to hide the electric cord before you get home that way there is no temptation and you cant turn your computer on. Once you get your stuff done let them give it back to you and you can use the computer for whatever time you have left over.
At first youl be a lil freaked out, but in a while you will get used to the routine and not even look at the computer once you get home.
All you need is to set your priorities straight.
Good Luck.
Start doing your homework somewhere else besides your house. Try the library or maybe at a park. (If you're under 18, ask your parents first, of course.) That way you won't have the distraction of email and blogs and all the other computer goodies we love. Carve out a hour or two every afternoon to go to the library. That way when you get home at 5pm, you'll be done and the night is yours to play on the computer.
The best way to stop a bad habit it to stop allowing it to happen. DO NOT turn on the computer. Make it a rule that after dinner when the homework is done you can, but turn on a timer for one hour, nor more.
My rule is no computer after 11, seven days a week. And it works for me.
No one can control you but YOU.
