The first thing you have to do is organize your life. The sooner you do this the better. Don't postpone anything. Postponing homework or any other activity is the worst enemy you can have.  That is Tamsik or an animal propensity. If you want to do anything quicker, do it immediately. Doing something quicker does not mean rushing it or doing it in a shorter period of time. It means doing it immediately so then you can enjoy your life doing other things.

If you say that you will do something later, then you will not concentrate on anything. Your mind will keep taking you back to what you have to do and you will not be very productive. Learn to prioritize  activities such as home work and sports instead of wasting your time watching movies or playing around when there are things to be done.

Learn your priorities. Most people don't know how to give priorities, even grown-ups often don't know. Their priorities are often based on greed, passion, lust and selfishness. This is why people are not happy. If you want to do anything properly or efficiently, then get your priorities in order so you can enjoy life by saving time. People can be efficient but greediness stands in the way so there is always an endless amount of work to be done. Life should be reorganized so that you are never in a hurry or dragging your feet. Balancing your life is the best way of doing things.
