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 wewe space things out and plan your days out. For example, as soon as wewe 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 ukuta since it's zaidi interesting than homework). Do your hardest homework first. Work for about an saa au so, then take like a 15 dakika break to do whatever wewe do for fun. Then when the 15 dakika 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 saa of fun (if it's not too late). I know it's hard to stop procrastination once wewe 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 wewe 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 wewe focused and decrease your temptation to go do something else.
And as for studying, I set aside a separate time (about 45 dakika 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 siku than to cram au 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 wewe need them to keep wewe focused and make sure wewe get your homework done as soon as wewe come nyumbani from school. That way, they'll nag wewe to complete it all.
Sorry I couldn't be of zaidi help, but I was finally cured of my procrastin-itis last mwaka after my first AP course. I really hope wewe change your work habits because, talking from personal experience here, if not it'll come back and bite wewe in the ass. lol
