Can't Budget Time Well
16/f ok so this year I'm a junior and I get a lot of work, but I have a problem. I'm really really easily distracted. Every day when I come home from school, I think to myself, ok, I'm gona start my work now but I don't end up actually starting until like 2 or 3 hours after I get home from school and end up staying up really late to do my work. I feel like the only time I effectively finish my work is when it's really late at night and I've waited until the last minute and I'm under a lot of pressure to finish and this isn't necessary because I could have finished it 3 hours ago. I've tried everything, like pretending that its already really late when it's actually early but it didn't work. Does anyone have some specific methods I can use to start and finish my work earlier and not get so easily distracted?

You sound like me!
I had the same issue in high school. What I eventually found, though, was that I just liked to work late at night. Sure, I was dog-tired but it was just my better working time.
If you find you have a procrastination problem, don't come home to do the homework. Go to the library after school, where there are little to no distractions. I eventually employed that when I started to really have problems functioning after an all nighter.
It worked for me, maybe it will work for you.
The main goal is to separate yourself from that which distracts you. Figure out what distracts you and separate yourself from it.
