Want stories/advice from someone who does both? First, a story. My History FINAL PAPER could be turned in by e-mail. Naturally, I decided that having the time extended was freakin' sweet, and didn't start my essay until about five that day, when the paper was due at 7pm sharp. Now, you may say why Katie, that's two hours! That's not enough/plenty of time (dependng on your mindset). I hadn't even thought of a topic, and I was frantically writing when I just broke down. I couldn't write anymore because I was stuck on one word (archetype, I'll never forget it). So, I called my friend who had finished hers on time, and she calmed me down, helped me focus, and pretty much saved my paper from total destruction. Long story moderately short, it ended with me *running* to my house to get an internet connection to send it in with two minutes to go. I was super proud of myself, but ashamed at the same time. Wierd feeling, that. I'm never ever doing that again.
Now, advice. PLAN, PLAN, PLAN! Make a homework schedule, a study schedule, anything you need to give you a loose idea of when to do your work. Develop habits like doing your HW at a certain time (like before dinner, after class) or giving yourself rewards for work. And, like Saban said, JUST DO IT.
