1. Become more aware so you become aware of the current situation and when to stop and what else to do. (The way it works for me: Journaling, meditation)
2. Build up self-discipline so you can actually stop doing what you do right now and go do something else. Steve posted a few articles on this subject, you might wanna check them out if you don't know them yet.
Personally, I also suffer from the symptoms you describe
One gets immersed in what's really creating lots of fun *right now* (like girlfriends.. boy, did (and do) I spend hours and days with them..) and ignoring the other stuff that we "should" do or "wanted" to do and use the current joyful activity to distract us and provide an easy hook for procrastination.
You sound like you're pretty young, too, maybe even younger than me... And I think it's fine to struggle with stuff like this... Come on, who on earth wants to be disciplined and do what they must, really
