Too Much Homework!
Dear Guidance Guy,
I get way too much homework. I don't know what to do anymore. It's like homework is controlling my life!
Please Help,

Dear Idol Girl,
Sorry, I'm not doing your homework for you. I finished mine years ago.
Seriously, I don't know how much you get or how long it takes you to do it. But one thing that might help is to break it up into smaller pieces. If you have homework in three subjects, go at it for 20 minutes, then take a five minute break, then go back at it. This way you won't get overwhelemed and you'll concentrate better when it's time to get back into it.
Two other thoughts...don't do homework on an empty stomach...have a little snack first. And don't turn a five minute break into a one hour break. It's easy to do.
Good Luck,
The Guidance Guy
