Hi, I am a student and have a really bad habit of procrastinating. I am looking for a good quote which I can use to remind myself each day to avoid procrastination and get as much done as I can.

Procrastination is the bad habit of putting of until the day after tomorrow what should have been done the day before yesterday.
Napoleon Hill
Procrastination is opportunity's natural assassin.
Victor Kiam
My evil genius Procrastination has whispered me to tarry 'til a more convenient season.
Mary Todd Lincoln
Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.
Don Marquis
Procrastination is my sin. It brings me naught but sorrow. I know that I should stop it. In fact, I will--tomorrow!
Gloria Pitzer
Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy.
Wayne Dyer
Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now. Because success is heavy, carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the 'someday I'll' philosophy.
Dennis Waitley
Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no delay, no procrastination; never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
Lord Chesterfield
Good Luck, I have problems with this myself..

I'm the same way! (Only, I'm not a student anymore!)
The ONLY thing that works for me- setting an alarm!
If you have a cell phone, set reminders for when you need to do things. If not, get a timer that you can set for 60 minutes or less- then do whatever it is you're supposed to do!
Enlist friends to help you- they can even call you at certain times (like, 7pm, so and so calls to tell you to do your geometry homework, or whatever).
Enlist your parents- it is kind of their job, right?
Make a 'NO Rule': No TV until _____ is done. No Video Games until you've done ______. No internet until you ______ this.
And don't worry- it takes doing something at least 21 times to make it a habit.

This is a slight rewording of a quote from the 1962 musical "The Music Man"- though I can't take full credit for it,I hope it's what you're looking for!
"My friend, if you keep putting things off till tomorrow, you'll end up with a lot of empty yesterdays"

1).The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it is.
So it's good for you that you are seeing how hard it is to ty. Keep on keeping on
2).An unhurried sense of time is, in itself, a form of wealth.
It's good to work but you also need to slow down a bit so consider all the advice and when you want to rest, think of my saying. Best wishes
