I need help.

How do people do this? anyone out there overcome that wonderful trait of procrastination? How do you balance school and life? I'm trying to figure out how to get homework done and a paper at the same time- how do people break it down into manageable bits? How do you kick yourself into gear?

Since I'm on here when i have a paper and a lot of homework, I figured I'd make it at least a little constructive. I miss high school- I used to be one of the smart ones. What the hell happened?
