Here's a tip that I use for any job that I continue to put off (procrastinate about). Set a timer for 5, 10 or 15 minutes. You can do anything (even Algebra work) for those periods of time. Sit down and get started. When the timer goes off, stop all work and rest your brain for 10-15 minutes. If there's still more to do, set the timer again and go again. Continue this until you have completed that homework.
Don't forget that there are answers in the back of most books. Checking those answers to see if you are on the right track should not be considered cheating. I encourage my students to check those answers. This will help boost your confidence if you are getting the problems right. It will also encourage you to look back over notes, examples in the textbook, etc. if you are getting the answers incorrect.
