How can I focus on things that need to be done, like hw?

Hi People,

I'm having a little trouble concentrating on school work lately. I think this must feel familiar for some (most?) of you. How do you make sure you do your school work and refrain from getting distracted, which is so easy in today's internet age.

So basically any advice is more than welcome

May way to do it is "Just start doing it".

I have hyperfocus that can "click" with almost anything so I only have to focus on a task for a few minutes and after that it just goes by itself. The only problem is motivation - it's hard to start doing what I don't like. But if it is important I just force myself, "Enough is enough. You do your homework and return to computer"(although more often it is "You finish the game and go study", which just can't work. LOL).

Fortunately I never had a any problem with learning. For my whole education I felt like there is actually not enough homework despite other students complaining they don't have time to do anything else but study. I didn't really need to study. 20 minutes of browsing the book the evening before an exam was enough for me to get a strong B and I was too lazy to aim for A.
