1. Set goals. It sounds like something your teacher would tell you to do, I know. Your goals don’t need to be academic, though they can be. You could set a goal to have a conversation with someone that you’re usually really shy around. You could set a goal to get all of your homework done before school even ends (but don’t do it if your teacher will be annoyed if they notice. You know how that goes.)
2. Start writing a story (if you like that sort of thing). When you finish your work, you can add onto it. Build upon it throughout the year and read it when school gets out for summer.
3. Make up backstories for the teachers that you don’t know much about. Maybe they’re really an undercover agent who teaches to get more information on the youth of the world… I don’t know, you decide.
4. Doodle during lectures. Make sure you’re still listening and possibly even taking notes, but for some people, doodling can help, not hurt, concentration.
5. Plan things after school. Have something to look forward to when school ends… besides homework! If you have something exciting, or even just moderately interesting, to do after school, school itself will me more fun!
Remember: None of this is supposed to make you less focused or more out of it in school, just to make it a little bit more bearable if it’s not already. If you try these things and you find you have no idea what your teacher has been blabbering on about for the last 10 minutes, maybe they’re not for you. Happy learning!
