Whether you are making up work, preparing for a new class, or simply want to get ahead, it is possible to get your homework done during your holiday and still enjoy your free time. However, due to distractions and time visiting family and just relaxing, you could lose sight of your goal and unable to do much. Try these two cures for holiday homework.
Eliminate online distractions.
  • Set a schedule to study. For example, If after lunch, grandma and grandpa are napping or watching TV, you can use that time to do your homework.
  • Silence your phone and put your iPad and other digital devices to charge and away from your study area.
  • If you get distracted studying on your computer, use an app to block online and other computer distractions. Apps like Freedom and LeechBlock allow users to temporarily block certain sites or set whole blocks of time where the internet is inaccessible.
  • Use tools like FocusWriter and Focus Booster to help you track your time to accomplish specific tasks.

Switch between play and study.
  • Get comfortable switching between your school work and personal interests to keep yourself productive but not overwhelmed. For example, you could do your homework while curling up by the fireplace or sunbathing on the beach.
  • Avoid packing schoolwork into times that won’t properly allow you to focus, such as on a tour or during a family get-together. Save the school work for designated study time or your leisure time.
  • Make sure your environment is compatible for the work you need to do. For example, avoid bringing your computer or scientific calculator to a beach setting, which could damage such equipment.
