Homework Help Tip 1 from HomeworkFocus.com: Plan Your Day
Planning can make an amazing difference to how much homework you get done. It also makes it easier to focus on homework, because you are able to break down each task into smaller parts, which means that you can stop feeling overwhelmed by doing lots of homework. Take for example, an English essay. If you want to get an English homework assignment finished over the next 3 days or so, and don’t know where to start, then you could make a plan. This makes it easier for you to focus on the task and get the work done. Concentration is all about having a precise task to do within a well-defined time, and an environment that helps you to focus. Setting a plan is about creating that certainty in your mind about what you are going to be doing over the next couple of hours, or even a few days. This ‘certainty’ replaces the fog of not knowing what to do, so that you feel much more focused, and are able to concentrate on getting homework done. Focus Step 1: Set Priorities So you look at the other homework assignments that you have to hand in over the next 3 days. Imagine there’s an English assignment to hand in tomorrow, science the day after and algebra the day following that. So you decide that English is your highest priority, followed by science, then algebra. This prioritisation is the first part of the Plan method to focus on homework. Focus Step 2: Write Down The Tasks For English, you need to do the following tasks, so you write them down: Read pages 45-82 of the book It’s very important that you make goals that are realistic and don’t ask too much of yourself, otherwise you will only get discouraged and fail to concentrate over the whole homework assignment. So consider first your typical times for completing specific homework tasks. If you decide that you need about 1 hour for reading the book and making notes, then add this to your plan. You may also need about 20 minutes to really think through your ideas about the essay. Writing the essay will take about 2 hours, once you have the ideas in place. Your plan then looks like this. Read pages 45-82 of the book – 1 hour Focus Step 3: Allow For Breaks This means a total of 3 hours and 20 minutes will be spent on your homework. But have you accounted for dinner time, for time to watch tv and take a break? Not yet. It’s important to do so because you may get discouraged if you don’t meet the timetable. This is the amended plan. It now includes the times as well. 4-5pm Read pages 45-82 of the book – 1 hour With planning ahead, and dividing your time, you get a lot more homework done each day. This helps your final grade a great deal if you are consistent and apply your planning skills to revision before exams as well. Summary: How To Focus With A Plan By setting priorities, writing down tasks and allowing for breaks, you enable a much clearer mindset to replace confusion. What you want is to create a mental environment for concentration, and by creating a plan, you should aim to set goals for yourself that are realistic and very well defined.

How to get time for exercise http://bit.ly/ld7Jrh
Just ten minutes a day of exercise makes a difference to your health. Now a new application has been developed to free up time by reducing distraction online, I Free Time For Fitness, which you can download now for free.
Finding Time For Exercise Just Got Easier, with I Free Time For Fitness
Adults need at least 2 and a half hours a week of moderate intensity aerobic activity and muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week, according the Center for Disease Control. Pushing a lawn mower in your garden, to taking a dance class, to cycling to the store – all of these count as aerobic activity. As long as you're doing them at a moderate or vigorous intensity for at least 10 minutes at a time. With the intensive muscle-strengthening actives, these include lifting weights, resistance work, and any other type of heavy lifting or push ups and lift ups. Busy lifestyles put pressure on us to perform multiple roles in the workplace and in the home, with barely enough time to fit exercise in the schedule. Statistics show that at least 40% of us do not exercise on a regular basis. If you’ve ever had difficulty finding the time to exercise, then there could be options to free up some time. On average we’re spending over 10 hours a week online during leisure times, according to Nielsen. Much of this time is spent communicating with friends and family, and doing vital shopping, banking and other activities that are nowadays done online to save money. There could be room to ask yourself the question "do I really need ten more minutes of reading the news, or being on Facebook, or on any of my favourite sites?" A recent survey of students in the UK found that 43% of them felt they were spending too much time online, to the detriment of their studies. There is research showing that across different generations, we have become addicted to information. The Internet feeds this habit, but at what cost? If you’re not exercising as much as you could, then could there be room to cut internet time? A new application called I Free Time for Fitness has been developed to enable PC users to block any type of distraction, including websites, games and email. The net effect is to improve focus whilst on the computer, so that time is freed for other activities including exercise. As the CDC points out, even ten minutes of vigorous exercise helps, so with I Free Time for Fitness, every minute counts.
