Thanks so much in advance...

You feel like shopping and roaming.... go ahead!!! "All Work and No Play makes Jack a Dull Boy" So if you feel like having a walk or hanging around out...go and have funn....when you enjoy don't even give a single thought about the assignment that you are supposed to finish...just enjoy.... When you return...you would automatically feel the desire to complete the pending stuff...and that too with a new zeal and fresh mindset... Go Bang Bang!!

hmm studying tips. Take breaks often... I'd say read a chapter and then take a break, read another two chapters and take a break, then read a chapter, take a break... kind of mix it up a little bit, and then before you know it you will be already studied! I recommend not sitting somewhere close to a window as that can be distracting. Sit in a couch on a wall not facing a window, or at a chair at a table not facing a wall. If you must play soft music in the background, but nothing that would make you want to get up and dance, nothing that would make you sleepy either. Something that you would mostly ignore :D

1. Plan out so you don't end up doing it at the last possible moment. 2. Break your work into small segments and reward yourself after you've completed that segment. Breaks could include Mylotting, e-mail, or music on your computer. 3. Eat healthy food when working late; caffeine and chips will only make you jittery and less focused on work.

I don't have tips for you smiley. The only thing i know is that when you don't like do to what you have to do, then no tips or technique could help you to finish it. It have to start with yourself, if you like to do it. Do think of possibilities or consenquence if you will not do your study or homework, you can get low or bad grade. And you don't want that to happen, isn't it? And you have to have goals. Like I want to be an A's student this year. If you have a goal, you will have a plan, and a process. You will disregard shopping and all that you do commonly. It might sounds boring on your part, but when you have a goal, there is one thing that is in your mind, to reach and fulfill it.

well when you have something that is boring then you shouldd use your brain to get is done quickly, u being a girl it should be easier for you to get your work done there are variouss way how you can do u r assingnemt, first one goes this way first make a group of friend having the same assignnment and then meet at someone's place then divide your assignment in part each one gets to do something , you be the smart one and decide to supervise them . the next stratergy goes this way ask your boy friend to do the work for you , if you do not have boy friend then i guess u r very pretty girl you can make any guy do what ever you want
