Went to university for 7 years and have nothing valuable to say for it. Waste of f***ing time.
Now I'm in college as a Civil Engineering Technologist, getting straight-A's and tutoring fellow classmates. It's amazing what a little bit of structure and discipline will do.
I'm finishing on May my bachelors in computer science and information systems. I struggled my first years at the university but similar to you, after being more organized and disciplined, it made a huge difference in my grades (especially doing things early).
My personal work technique? I hate working under pressure all the time so I evaluate my tasks (homework, projects, exams) based on 3 things: weight (how much is worth for my final grade), time (how much time did the professors gave me) and it difficulty (is subjective). This way I make a schedule for my tasks (nothing fancy, I do it in a notepad) and try to finish them early to be relaxed in my free time.
At least you can say you have a Masters in LoL. I'm still in my bachelors :)
