I don't think I got too much homework back in high school. And most were simple enough that I could do them while watching T.V. or something. I used to have a couple free periods where I'd go to the library and work on homework, but not all the time. And I never had to study much for tests.

I'm a big procrastinator, so I try to force myself to work whenever I have time, since I know I'll end up needing extra time to make up for distraction time. But I tend to actually do better under pressure. In 11th grade I got an entire summer assignment done in two days. (School started the following day.)

In college now and I'm getting a lot more work. And I do have to study a lot more now, so I have to give myself lots of time to prepare. I tend to lose sleep over it. Still a procrastinator, but I'm trying to get better. Overall, though, I feel I'm more motivated to work very early in the morning or very late at night. Otherwise I get distracted really easily, or I just convince myself that I can afford to waste a little bit of time and it ends up being hours.
