Hi Josephine. My advice is: create a homework schedule. You can set aside a specific time each day to do homework, even if it's just for 30 minutes. When you make it part of your routine, it becomes easier to keep doing it regularly. For example, if you work best at night, try setting that time aside just for homework.
A good way to stay motivated is by rewarding yourself. After finishing a task, give yourself a break to do something you enjoy, like watching a video or having a snack. This makes the homework process feel less like a chore and more fun.
Another idea is to find a friend or classmate to work with. You can check in with each other about your progress and stay accountable. Knowing that someone else is working too can push you to get your own work done. You could also ask a teacher for help or to check in with you every once in a while.
Since you're interested in Wildlife Biology, you should remind yourself how important homework is for building the foundation for your future career. Every task, even the ones that feel boring, helps you learn more about the field you want to work in. Keeping this in mind can give you more motivation to finish your work.

Hi Josephine! good to know that you are good at studying and imagine how much confidence you will gain if you consistently put efforts on writing down what you studied. you can start writing down small topics but consistency is important. First, you need to believe that all this is for yourself, it will benefit you and put you ahead of others. Then you'll find it encouraging and benefitting. That's it later on you will not stop even if someone tells you that is not required
Great to know that you are interested in wildlife Biology, its a lot to learn to me...... whole lot of subject, need to remember so many scientific names, so much to learn. Writing definitely adds more hold on subject. I'm sure you would have understood the benefits of writing what you studied but may be feeling it as boring job. May be you can try drawing, prototyping etc, with friends.
Hope this helps
