I write down everything I have to get done (not just due the next day, but for any time) on sticky notes and put them on my computer. Once I've finished something, I take the sticky note down. Gives me a sense of accomplishment and makes sure I don't forget anything.

Another good strategy. I like keeping a running list in my phone too. Since I have it practically every where I go, its easy to quickly add new tasks and get things done while on the road.

Make yourself start early, even when you don't want to. Hopefully, after a while, you'll see the results, feel more rested, and want to continue with those habits.

Don't go on the computer, keep a list, make a schedule.

I write down due dates on a day or two before the assignment is actually due :] really helps!

This is good advice -- I sometimes have to turn off the computer and walk into another room to distance myself from the temptation!

Yeah I know how you guys feel. I'm procrastinating as I'm typing this, lol. :p But I've also gotten a ton better by forcing myself to do something the day it's assigned. It doesn't always work, especially for bigger projects, but it really helped me. Another thing that helps is to get involved in extracurricular activities. For example, right now I'm in swimming, and my grades are actually better now than they were before swim season started, simply because when out-of-school activities are also in the picture, you're forced to get things done. Going to a library also really helped me, as someone mentioned before.

I would write down everything I have to do, followed by prioritizing in terms of importance, size, deadline.. etc. Logging off of social network sites helps too!
