The problem some people have with homework is not that they find it too hard, or that it takes too long, but that they f  what they have to do and for when. This may be because they don't write down exactly what n  to be done, or don't make a note of when it has to be handed in.

If you have a planner for school, make good u of it to record what you need to do. If not, use a diary or notebook to make notes of what has to be handed in and w .

You could set up an "in-tray" system, so you can see what is w to be done. This is a tray or shallow box where you put your homework each night until you are r to do it.

Although no one exactly looks forward to doing homework, you will get it done more efficiently (高效地) if you are well o and have time and space to concentrate (专注) on it.

For example, if your homework involves (需要) going online and you don't have your ocomputer, make sure you 'book' some time on the family computer, or can use one in your school library.

If you have space, set up a homework 'office' a at home with a table or desk and a comfortable chair. It should have good light, a place for your books, and your homework 'tool kit. '

It helps to get into a habit of doing homework early in the evening, and not 1  it until the last minute at weekends. After you've done it, reward yourself with some fun, down-time' activities, such as some television or social networking time.
