I'm smart, but lazy and can get distracted easily. This means I'm quite an underachiever. I would like to hear from people who had the same problem and how they overcame it.

Anyone would find your predicament understandable.
During school, especially, it can be hard to concentrate.
Did you try talking to your doctor?
Expressing your dillemma there might yield some answers.
Remember: if a morning cuppa joe never hurt anyone, then...
Anyways, you have my sympathies.
Laziness can indeed be a scourge, with initiative difficult to come by.
Legally I can't offer you any of mine; sorry.

DEJA VU seriously. im 14, a girl, i go to a grammar school and could never be bothered doing homework, or classwork actually, i got on special report which means i had to do hwk after schl and the teachers at the end of each lesson had to say how id been, if i handed my hwk in, if i did work in class, stuff like that. i did hwk after schl every night for about a term. it helped a lot. now im in year 10 and getting everything in on time, done, once you train yourself to be bothered and not be lazy about it youll surprise yourself. ask a teacher if you can stay behind at schl to get work done and it will sort itself out in no time

Chill out and use massive amounts of drugs. When you find something that you're passionate enough about, you'll refocus and know that you need to motovate yourself.

Find someone who you will be accountable to and ask them to see you to your goal. When you have someone else pushing you towards your goals you are more likely to achieve them. Someone who will not let you slack and who is not afraid to gently push you. Reward yourself for every task completed. Generously, you deserve it.

Talk to your doctor about what vitamins or other techniques will work best for you to help you overcome this.
