I Have A Lot Of Homework: Ways To Reduce Stress While Doing Your Assignments


When you come home after school, you want to spend some time for yourself: watch some videos, chat with friends, or play football. However, with a great pile of homework to do, you have no choice but to proceed to work at once. Day after day, nothing changes and you become more irritated. There are, however, some ways to reduce stress and even become more efficient.

  1. Choose some particular time to do your homework.

    2. Try to find the time when you are most productive and ready to work. You may do whatever you want until then, for example at 6 p.m. As soon as the time arrives, put everything aside and start working on your assignment. When you get into the habit of working at the same time every day, it will be much easier for you to have time both for leisure and homework.

  2. Don’t put it off until the last minute.

    3. When you are given more time than usual to do some project, you should work on it regularly and not leave it for the night before the deadline.

  3. Give yourself more time if necessary.

    4. Someone can be great at math, while another is skilled in English; we are all different. So, we need different times to accomplish hard tasks. Take as much time as you need, but don’t get stuck on it.

  4. Reduce distractions.

    5. Don’t stretch out the process by doing your homework, speaking over the phone, and watching a movie at the same time. You must do your assignment anyways, and the sooner you finish, the sooner you are free.

  5. Be attentive in class.

    6. You may have difficulties with your assignment because you have missed an important point during the lesson. Ask questions when you don’t understand something.

  6. Put down the most important information.
    7. It is impossible to remember everything aurally. Later on when you start doing homework, your notes will be of great value.

  7. Get enough sleep.

    8. We have heard so many times about the importance of quality sleep. In practice, we continue to ignore the fact that the lack of sleep affects our health. A good study is impossible without a good rest.

  8. Do homework at school.

    9. You may use breaks or lunchtime. If you complete at least a part of it at school, there will be much less left to do at home. Besides, after the class, your knowledge is still fresh and you will do it almost effortlessly. Furthermore, you may ask your teacher if something is unclear to you.
