Self Improvement Made Easy

I don't want to wait until the last minute to do something. I wake up, I say I'm going to do it, but there are other things that get in the way such as chores, breakfast, etc. Then later in my free time i choose to do a more relaxing activity such as reading or tv. Usually by doing this, I'm up late doing what I said I was going to do in the morning. Does anymore know how to help?
