    I find routine helps. If you set yourself a routine where a certain time is "Work time", then just devote that time to working.

    Other than that, just good old self-motivation I'm afraid :)

    It'll get to the last minute and you realise you have no choice - there's no more time left to squander. Works for me. :thumb:

    do it a bit at a time and break it down into smaller chunks, don't aim to do it all in one go. draw up a schedule of when you will do it and what work you will do.

    i mean, if you did 30mins on it, 4 times a day - you've done 2 hours of work. and i personally, find it is easier to get stuff done like that, and it doesn't seem too overwhelming which could cause you to procrastinate.

    another way you could do it is to break down the day into 3rds:
    morning 8-12
    afternoon 1-5
    evening 6-10
    choose 1 you will study in (4 hours), and have the other 2 to yourself to attend college or whatever.

    getting things done is really easy, provided you manage your time well.

    hope that helps a bit.

    when im in the same situation, i find the best thing to do is write a list of all your assignments in order of priority, so whichever one is due in first. then start from there. if you have difficulty in concentrating, only spend short periods of time working, so say 30-40mins, or whatever you think, then have a break.try and make a schedule, and stick to it.so give yourself a so many days for each assignment.hope it helps!!!

    you will get it done, you have to.

    i always think it's much easier once i've got going. you might not feel in the mood to work but then once you've started writing you might be ok.

    about the adhd thing, if you find it hard concentrating for long periods of time, take regular breaks. :)
