Tips For Students: Should I Do Homework Now Or In The Morning?

We all have our best times of the day for thinking the most clearly and doing things like homework. It used to be that you did it right after school or at night if you had sports practice right after school. It depends on whether your school work is for high school or college or even junior high. You have your parents kind of getting on you if you are in high school or younger. Once you're in college, it's up to you to decide what the best time to write that thesis for English class will be.

Learning When the Best Time for You to Do Homework is

• * To learn about yourself and when you function well enough to write or do any studies at your best, when do you seem to be the most focused? Is there a quieter time of day for you to shut things out (siblings, roommates, distractions, etc.) Those by themselves can be big distractions. Are you so tired first thing in the morning that you have to force yourself out of bed? If that is a yes, it's probably not the best time to open the books.
• * But if you're one of those early risers that love to go for a jog and feel the fresh morning air, you may have something going there. That's a clear-headed mind that is ready to tackle the books. On the other hand, some people are night-owls and think at their best late at night.
• * When you seem to be able to focus really well at night on other things you could likely open your English book and start writing a thesis. Being wide-awake and focused is half the battle. Have concentration on what you are studying. Night owls tend to have most of their concentration at night.
• * Are you one who hits the gym at night or in the afternoon? That's a great way to figure out when your best time to study is. It seems natural that morning is not a good time to do math since most students start class first thing in the morning. But it comes down to when you are the most energized, focused and able to write what your essay is about.

If you learn that you focus better in the morning, don't start the assignment the morning it is due if you can avoid it. That is not a good way to decide if morning is a good time to do your writing. The morning of the day before the assignment is due is a relatively good way to tell if morning is your good time to do homework. There is no pressure on hurrying up to get the essay done.
