play chromatic scales with it, play for notes per click. Start off slow like at 40 and work your way up, increasing 8 to 10 beats each time. You gotta work ssssssssssllllllllllloooooooooowwwwwwwwww.... With time, you'll be able to stay on tempo better. Or when you learn songs, just play along with the metronome like spiritintheskysaid. OTher than that, just practice it everyday. AFter a while you won't need it as much, cause you'll find that you can keep the tempo without having to haer a click.
