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.
