Guys, on August 13th, I will be starting high school, I usually struggle keeping up with my work because of procrastination, so does anyone have any tips to tackle it?

well i have that same problem and i normally listeh to music and take breaks while doing normal needs such as if i had 10 hw assignments id do 4 then eat dinner. and then finish 5 then take a shower, and ect from that you can manage your time or set a due time thats resonable

the thought of if i do it now i dont have to do it later. Or atleast start the assignment, its ok if u dont finish just start it.
I used to do my simpler tasks while still at school, eg. assignment was given at morning, I'll do that thang at lunch sometimes even right as the assignment is given i do it outright with my classmates lol.
segregate ur tasks based on deadline and difficulty, the easiest ones can either be ur 1st to do or last they're quite flexible unlike presentations n all

Highschool was really easy for me even if i did procrastinate im ngl. Depending where you are, hs shouldnt be much more diff from middle school, just with newer and more advanced topics. Since homework usually forces you to be on time anyways, you probably wont fall too far behind unless ur actually not even doing ur hw. Test and quizzes topics are almost always covered in ur hws, so if you master them ull be okay. the homeworks daily will force you to practice what was taught that day in class, and it will stick even if you dont want it to lol. grades will be more dependent on homeworks tho so make sure you get those done.
if you are worried about procrastination on hw, dw, i was once that kid too. get home, eat a light snack, pick ur favourite class, and start the hw for it. finish it. get up, wander around, do whatever, for like maybe 15min. pick the hw that takes the longest time. work on it. if u need a break, get up and move around. finish that classes hw. eat dinner. do ur second fav topic, finish it. shower. do another hw, finish it, snack. rinse and repeat. if you need your phone for a break, sure. but do NOT start the doomscroll. if you do, set a stiff time for when u HAVE to put that phone away. if you go over by a minute, dont say "oh i can start 7:20". START at 7:11. theres no rule that says u cant start on an odd number
The topic of advanced/honors/ap classes however, is a different matter. Those classes you will need to try to keep up because the workload will be much larger than normal classes. In those classes, things move faster, so anything u don’t understand u gotta get solved by the end of the day. but treatment of hw should be similar to that of what i mentioned above. anything you dont understand, youtube is ur bestie. khan academy, the organic chemistry tutor, theres a ton of resources out there if you try.
