Ah, procrastination. I had (and still do to a minor degree) problems with it during my first two years of university. I used to end up wondering how and why do I waste so much time, and ended up rushing things and handing in badly done work with questions missing, feeling really bad about it.
Admittedly I don't know what you study, and I don't spend too much time in Misc., but I could share my experience on how to get rid of it. The only true way to conquer procrastination is to identify what the issue that's causing it is. Procrastination either comes from a far too laid-back attitude towards work, or conversely a type of perfectionism that makes you feel that if you can't get anything perfectly done and might find yourself handing in less than perfect work, then it might look bad for you.
I can't comment too much on the "laid-back attitude" version. I was a perfectionist, and I used to worry about not getting perfect marks for absolutely everything I handed in. I was studying mathematics, and I felt that not to be absolutely perfect meant that others would look down on me, thus I used to defer getting feedback on my mistakes. That, in hindsight, was stupid. It caused me to at least get one or two really bad marks from rushed, shoddy work which caused in effect what was a feedback loop.
One of the key things in my procrastination was that I treated the work like a monolith, with an "Oh my God how do I do that?" feeling. After a while, though, I learned that the key to overcoming this is just to start to pick off the low-hanging fruit early. When I was given coursework to do, I began looking over the sheet and finding easy parts that I could pick off, and I did them all.
Admittedly I'm talking about math here, but still. Essays and all other forms of work have easy parts, whether it's creating a skeleton for more detailed analysis to follow, an initial analysis of something or just the easy parts of a far harder question. Get these out of the way first.
You might think that trying to tackle the hard stuff first in an assignment is the best way, but truth be told those hard parts might detract from easy marks because you haven't done the easy stuff as well as you could have due to tackling the hard bits. Once you've picked the low hanging fruit, you'll have more time to address the stuff that does give you difficulty.
And in most cases, you'll find that having done quite a bit of it earlier to a standard you like, the harder stuff doesn't look so bad as you've got reassurance that you've at least the majority of the easy stuff in the bag. That helped me a lot. I looked at the work, and saw that in actual fact, I was at least guaranteed to get quite a few things right, and marks for "heroic failures" where I'd attempted a problem but not quite got to the end. Procrastination is bad, but with a bit of thought and correct tactics, it can be overcome.
