How do you feel about your school assignments?

Because if you think you HAVE to do them, you mentally label them as something you really don't want to do but something or someone forces you to do it. In this case, you're dealing with self-sabotage. You strive for freedom and therefore rebel against the assignment while being forced by your fear (of failing the class or w/e) to do it.

Try to think of it in terms of "I want to". Set a CLEAR goal, the one you're really willing to achieve. For example, if you're studying, try to induce the feeling of curiosity.

If you'll try to force you to do someone, you'll never be fully commited to do it and won't get anywhere near 100% of your current capabilites. If you'll want to do something, you'll commit to it fully.

Also, do something to raise your self-esteem. Negative thinking and limiting beliefs are sabotaging your work.
