Worry less about what you are certain of, focus on what you're not sure of.

When you finish reading, or come home from school, make notes about the uncertain stuff, and invest your time (an hour or so) WHILE YOU STILL HAVE THE MOMENTUM. If you come home and kick your feet up and relax, you know you will grow a root and not want to get back to it. Maybe instead of coming straight home to your no-pressure comfort zone, you should go to the library or something to do some studying. Maybe even with a friend from that class, so you can discuss stuff or quiz each other.

Then, take a break and do other stuff to relax. Make a commitment to get back to it, and KEEP THAT COMITTMENT. If you have already invested an hour or so while you still had the momentum, then you deserve a break, but you will feel more motivated and challenged to finish something, or to simply test yourself to see how much you remembered. Focus on what you didn't remember, and quit worrying about stuff you know.

Remind yourself that you are BUYING TIME to be spontaneous. If you know your stuff, and you have already have gotten your assignments done, you are free to accept an invitation to go out and play, at a moment's notice. You will no longer have to worry or decline because you have stuff you need to get done.

So again, 3 steps:
-Focus on the uncertain, invest time until you are certain
-Do it while you still have the momentum, check yourself
-Always try to buy time to be spontaneous

Not easy to do and quite frankly most people fight this all their lives. I believe the best way to beat procrastination and add discipline to ones life would be to decide what it is you really want. Then make sure it is what you want. Your desire to achieve this want becomes a need and the rest will fall in line. Also, you need to put a time limit on what it is you desire. Discipline is the drive you create by deciding what it is you want to create. You can do it. Good luck.
