How do I stop procrastinating?

In school, I'll get an assignment that I need to get done immediately. But then my brain just shuts off. When I go home, I either get onto cc, or doomscroll, or check emails, or email people, or look into the refrigerator to find what's in there that's new since like 10 minutes ago. If you've had similar experiences and have figured out how to stop, PLEASE help me. It's affecting school and my overall mental health. I literally procrastinated till 11:00 PM and now I'm trying to finish an assignment that's due at 11:59. I probably won't and I'm gonna get a zero. For the rest of the school year, I seriously want to get better grades and stop procrastinating, even during summer break. Just please help me out here.

I do the exact same thing, and so far i've found nothing to help me. I just let the deadline sink in, and then i finish it super quick and submit it. it's worked out for me for the past fifteen years so idk

I do that as well but a lot of the time I literally procrastinated PAST the deadline because I just give up. I didn't do this like one year ago. How can I disconnect myself from distractions?

Oh yeah I forgot people were bent on downvoting me mb

huh. idk how to dat.

But anyway, someone please give me advice, because even if I block websites I won't stop procrastinating. Tomorrow I have a PROJECT due as well that I need to complete as soon as I get home, so please tell me what I should do.

I’ve stopped it before. All you need to do is learn to be curious. Imagine that your teacher is behind you, or just say your thoughts out loud when doing your homework (at home, quietly). Both have helped me overcome procrastination. Eventually, you can stop that and listen to songs while doing homework or projects. Imagine that you’re in an edit where a student did the impossible-and that student is you. Eventually it just becomes a habit.

Extremely easy
Just tell ur parents to lock ur phone up or something like that, and it kinda guarantees you’ll probably want to do something productive with your time

If you don’t wanna lock up your phone, idk, put a limit on apps or something

imagin not having a phone. :( Imagine not having your own pc :(((((((( imagin having parents who will ground you if you have a c. But uhh just focus and turn off your phone. Or listen to music when doing that. I find that really useful

I don't have a phone and I listen to music but I still can't focus, my brain just starts turning off because of the need to procrastinate.

I have that same problem! Maybe it’s ADD?

Can you make the project fun? Maybe reserve some music for those assignments so you can jam out and try to get in a zone while you write. Honestly I love writing essays so I can’t help with this (I procrastinate myself with math lol)
