Do the work that you DON'T want to do FIRST
As a reformed procrastinator (with occasional shameful relapses), I know the type of rationalization that goes on when you don't want to do something. Oftentimes when we have a lot of work for class to do we figure that doing the assignments that seem more interesting first will get us into the "spirit of studying" and magically help us tackle that subject that we continually avoid. For most people that is NOT the case. Try digging into that subject you're not too fond of first, because let's be honest, when we tell ourselves "I'll do it later" over and over again, most of the time we are in extreme denial!
