It sounds to me like you don ' t quite understand motivation ! Have you headed over to rGetMotivated ? They ' ve got loads of great stuff on there . But I ' ll try to help , if I canWhy would you complete your homework before you needed to ? I know that might sound like a silly question but have a real think about it . I never do things I hate for longer than I need to . The opposite is true too I play games and have fun for as long as I can ! So the way your brain sees the homework is this I don ' t enjoy homework so I will avoid the unpleasant experience for as long as I can . Your brain works like this to maximise the pleasure and enjoyment you get out of life . I love enjoyment ! Everything you decide you want to do has value . It has value to you . That is its value . This is perhaps an unusual example I used to play a lot of Grand Theft Auto . Because of this , I found it very easy to pass my boat driving licence . Yes that ' s right , I found what should have been a difficult test very easy all because I had spent so much time enjoying myself playing a game that included boat driving simulations . And lots of murder but that ' s a different story ! . So do what you love , and dont feel guilty about doing so . If homework is something you decide you want to do and do well then find ways to make it enjoyable . I had friends in school who didn ' t learn by the conventional methods , like the other kids , and fell behind . To cut a long story short , they ' re my most successful friends . Make it fun !
