Title, for pretty much all assignments(don't worry I'm in college, I'm not a kidcel) I always end up waiting for the very last minute to do it, I'll be submitting stuff that's due on 11:59 PM at like 11:55. I think about how I should always do at least one piece of work a day, but I never do(like how I haven't done any today). I always needlessly stress myself out thinking about the length/difficult of my assignment despite the fact I know they're not grand, major time-consuming tasks. This probably sounds silly, but sometimes my stomach churns thinking of actually doing the work(chud trait kek). I don't have anything due for about two days, but even so I know I'm probably gonna wait until the night it's due to actually start working on it. And every time after I finish, I just think "man, I should've started doing it earlier, or yesterday."

Take my math, instead of each assignment being due by the end of each week, it's all due by the end of the semester, but it's recommended you do some every week. So far I still haven't done any, and it's not a whole lot of work, but for some reason I keep psyching myself out of it. I just think "oh, well future me still has plenty of time and will do it", "well it's 9PM, I still have a couple hours before I go to bed I'll just do it real quick", "well I'll just do it tomorrow right after getting up", and I think these things until I have almost no time left.

So yeah, anybody have any tips or advice to stop this behavior/way of thinking? Anything would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Deworm yourself with some diatomaceous earth. Remove any flouride, LED lights, man-made foods, etc. Remove your bed, television, video games, and other major distractions. Eat only organic foods from your local farmers' market, and fast on the weekends. Mostly cabbage family vegetables to cleanse your blood. Drink only distilled water.
 
You need to build traps for yourself. Like don’t say “I’ll finish this assignment.” Say “I’ll do one problem” or “I’ll open the doc and write two sentences.” And give yourself fake deadlines. If it’s due at 11:59, tell yourself it’s due at 9.
 
You don't need to do stuff 1 week before the deadline or 1 hour before, see whatever you need to do and decide yourself when it would be good start, don't be lax about it or it's pointless

set traps where unless you finish the task, you die or your house burns down
