Take Control of Homework So It Doesn't Control You



Part 3
Take Advantage of Free Time
If you have a study period or a long bus ride, use the time to review notes, prepare for an upcoming class or start your homework. Flash cards are a great learning tool. They are easy to make, easy to handle, and are a marvelous tool to help you learn and remember anything. Punch a hole in the upper left corner of each index card and connect the stack of flash cards with a ring then the cards are bound and not flopping around. Flash cards bound like this act like a small book with pages. You can even separate the ringed stacks for each subject. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO REMEMBER PUT IT ON A CARD.
Study with a Friend
Get together with friends and classmates to quiz each other, compare notes and predict questions. Consider joining a study group
Communicate
If you have concerns about the amount or type of homework you have, you may want to talk to you family, teachers or counselor. They can help you understand how much time you need to allot for homework and how to manage your tasks.
Celebrate Your Achievements
Reward yourself for hitting milestone or doing something well.
Choose the Right
