I agree with John of course,

but I know your problem. Perhaps you don't have enough motivation?

There are several books that talk about self-discipline. Read one of those, they're likely to help.

I know how you feel bro. I'm a HUGE procrastinator! I almost always do all my work\studying everything in the very last minutes. I don't know why I do that...perhaps the adrenaline rush. Doing essays and studying for finals an hour before the final starts and stuff like that.

For myself main reason I do that is most likely because of a lack of motivation, and I usually find motivation through competition. Try to find someone would could compete with grade wise...maybe that'll push you to take some classes a lot more seriously.

Remove your distractions, maybe relocate where you try to do your homework.
Psychologically it can be hard to focus on work in an environment you usually associate with down-time, like your bedroom. Maybe consider staying an extra half-hour/hour in school and go to the library and get at least half of it done before you go home.

Plan so work doesn't pile up; get a diary, note and check when your deadlines are and give yourself a clear run at your work. Then you can break it down into more manageable chunks.

do your home works and other school works first before doing anything else. That is much of a good way to be able to study at the same time. Then, when you are done, you can do anything you want. Good luck on your studies!!
