How do i stop procrastinating?

I always procrastinate, no matter how many grades something is worth or even how much time i have to do it. I procrastinated on a project worth 14 grades, and did it the night before. Even if there is nothing to do in a room and no distractions, i still cant get myself to do my homework early, i just hate it too much. I need to know how to stop procrastinating because it has become a problem, and my grades are slipping, and this year i really need to get good grades. So please, what are some ways to stop procrastinating that ACTUALLY work?

thanks in advance

    Try rewarding yourself with candy, some fun activity, etc after you do your work so you will have more incentive to do things earlier.

    Get a planner and plot out specific times that you will concentrate on work. Break down a project into manageable chunks so you don't get overwhelmed (which will make you procrastinate even more!)

    Turn off your cellphone, log off of facebook, and eliminate all other distractions from your work environment.

    There really is no instant cure to procrastination. It always requires a bit of determination in my experience (I'm a terrible procrastinator myself), so don't become frustrated with yourself if you don't feel like you're making progress. But if you keep practicing on focusing on the task, it'll become easier and easier for you.

    Good luck :)
