Accept that you have homework and you must complete it. Stop fighting the reality of the situation. This is the first step to making homework easier.

Stop wasting time by staring off or getting up and down from the table or constantly checking your cell phone or email for messages. You would be amazed at the amount of time wasted by doing nothing.
