From one procrastinator to another, I find that just writing a paragraph or so a day makes things much more manageable. I used to (and still do with a lot of work) leave it until the night before, but then when I got into college, I started just writing out a paragraph each day, starting the day or so that I got the assignment. It works wonders, not only are you actually thinking about the paper for a much longer amount of time, the amount of actual work you do each day is so little it can take as little as 5 minutes each time. I usually have the entire paper written out after a few days, and that still gives me plenty of time to work on a 2nd and 3rd draft, as well as get it peer reviewed.

Still havn't completely broken the habit of leaving somethings to the very last minute and then pulling all nighters though.
