text: need help focusing on homework please help? i am having problems getting focused to do my homework and what is the sad part is i'm in college.  can anyone help me with this? i can never focus either, at home there is just too much else going on. what works best for me is to find a cafe or relaxed place to eat where they won't be bothered by you and get a corner booth for a while to study in. i usually order an appetizer that i can slowly munch on and a soda and study for a few hours. i find that if i do this once or twice a week i can get the bulk of my homework out of the way and the rest is easy to do in the evenings.
