Until this January, few researchers did, either. These obligations are so baked into American values that few parents stop to ask whether they’re worth the effort. My discipline issues only come with schoolwork and learning.One of the central tenets of raising kids in America is that parents should be actively involved in their children’s education: meeting with teachers, volunteering at school, helping with homework, and doing a hundred other things that few working parents have time for. I exercise 5 days a week with no problem of struggling like this.

It makes life so difficult.Īnd it's not like I have absolutely no self discipline. So how are some people so disciplined, like my sister, and I'm not. I think this is a question of discipline, not motivation. And it's not like I hate studying or doing homework, I enjoy learning. You might suggest to me that I put away my electronics or hide distractions, but even if I do that, I still wouldn't want to do my homework and find other things to do like sleep or do something other than homework. How do I stop procrastinating? This is probably a very commonly asked question. I look at my sister who gets home and pulls out her homework and does it immediately, and I get jealous because I could never just sit there and do my homework when I could be watching TV shows or Youtube. Basically, I f'ed up my entire high school career with my procrastination. I think I just have trouble getting started on the work. In a class which I could have very easily ended up with an A+ if I just did the homework (which wasn't difficult by any means), I ended up with a C. I just don't feel like doing my homework. This continued on, and I did not do most of my homework. The second week, I looked at the work I had to get done at the last minute and just decided I will just turn it in later. For the first week, I did everything at the last minute. What happened was that summer school was only 3 weeks long with assignments due every Tuesday and Thursday. I used to be straight A student, but now I just can't seem to get started on homework. So I'm a high school student taking online summer school.
