I tend to do the same thing, Jinn. I've got massive amounts of homework (in my 5th year, planning on graduating in May, so I've got lots of work and everything is always rush, rush, rush). As a result, this weekend I spent 15 hours playing Ninja Gaiden while I had several away messages up posted saying things like "Studying" or "Homework, do not disturb." Why? Because my assignments aren't due until Thursday and my network security midterm isn't until next week.
I tend to have a lot of trouble focusing myself on getting stuff done
ahead of schedule when it won't stress me off, instead of waiting until (like my homework due tomorrow) the night before and then getting frustrated when I spend 5 hours on it.
I don't think there's an easy solution, except to remove all temptation. Unfortunately, seeing as how most of my homework involves a computer, I can always find ways to distract myself. The console games, I suppose that I could get my girlfriend to take the consoles and I wouldn't be distracted that way, but don't ever bring up that idea to her, because I'd never let her do it
