The elements that make up homework routine are:
-Set a time each day: select a moment of the day and a specific hour!
-Schedule enough time to complete the tasks. Try not to go over 2 hours. That is, put a limit.
-Choose a place: choosing the right location can be key. Try to avoid noisy spaces and try to be far from “distractors” such as the phone or a tv.
-Make use of incentive systems: think about something fun to do as soon as you finish.
B. Create your own routine for each day:
For example, if you have to study literature on Monday (because you have an assignment for Tuesday or Wednesday) you may do the following:
Monday
What? Lit
When? morning 9-10
Where? my room
After? watch a baseball game, etc.
The way you design your schedule depends on your “free hours” at home/library as well as the homework assignments (type of work and deadline).
