What are your tips for avoiding procrastination?

I'm heading towards the end of school life and I'm finding with my homework piling up I'm procrastinating 더 많이 and more. What's your advice?
Please try not to say the obvious.
E.g.
"Why are 당신 asking me? 당신 should be doing your homework!"
"I'll tell ya later. Maybe. If I can be bothered."

Unlike the other commentor, I actually know what procrastination is since I have been a repeat offender in the past.
I don't do it as much now, since I have sadly learnt my lesson.

One of the main ways to fight the war against procrastination is time management. I know it's cliche and may be "impossible" for some people, but it's worth it. Make like a time schedule where 당신 우주 things out and plan your days out. For example, as soon as 당신 get home, basically lock yourself in your room and avoid ALL distractions (no computer, no TV, no texting, no parents/siblings to talk to, no staring at the 벽 since it's 더 많이 interesting than homework). Do your hardest homework first. Work for about an 시간 또는 so, then take like a 15 분 break to do whatever 당신 do for fun. Then when the 15 분 in over, go back to your quiet place and get back to work. Keep up this routine till all your homework is done. Once you're done, reward yourself with like an 시간 of fun (if it's not too late). I know it's hard to stop procrastination once 당신 start (it's practically an addiction), but just go straight at the work head-on. No stalling,just dedicated work.

Also, I find it easier to not temporize if 당신 do homework with friends, even if it's over the phone. Call them up and say, "hey wanna work together?" Even if it's mostly awkward silence where you're both working, it'll keep 당신 focused and decrease your temptation to go do something else.

And as for studying, I set aside a separate time (about 45 분 a day) to go over all notes I took in class to make sure I understood everything and got the gist. It's MUCH easier to break stuff up and do a little each 일 than to cram 또는 do all your homework at 10:00 at night.

Lastly, if your procrastination is getting so bad to the point that it's affecting your amount of sleep and grade in school, talk to your parents. I know you'll think it's a dumb, childish thing to do, but it HELPS. Tell them that 당신 need them to keep 당신 focused and make sure 당신 get your homework done as soon as 당신 come 집 from school. That way, they'll nag 당신 to complete it all.

Sorry I couldn't be of 더 많이 help, but I was finally cured of my procrastin-itis last 년 after my first AP course. I really hope 당신 change your work habits because, talking from personal experience here, if not it'll come back and bite 당신 in the ass. lol

Procrastination means putting off something important like homework. It's hard so 당신 don't do it and go and do something fun instead.
