>>808769Hey, so I just got into graduate school, and so I can't tell you whether or not I'll be successful there, but when it comes to undergraduate I did a physics degree and ended with a GPA of about 3.9, and I also did an undergraduate thesis along with my coursework, so I think that qualifies me as "successful" at least in that realm.
Anyway, my method was to push every single deadline off until I absolutely needed to do whatever it is that I've been pushing off. I pulled all nighters for basically every test I ever took, and wouldn't do homeworks until the day before they were due. After I hit 21, I also started drinking really heavily. During the summer I started thesis research I would hit up the bar really frequently and just try to get my work done at the last minute. So that's how I did it, let me know if that works for you.
