Plan on leaving yourself reasonably large blocks of time for projects such as essays and lab reports. Build regular breaks into your study periods. Most people can concentrate on material for about 25 minutes at a time. Allow time for review. At the end of each study session, take a 5 minute break and then do an active 5 to 10 minute review of the material that you've already covered.
Procrastination is a habit that, once formed, can be very difficult to break.
