Dude same here, I've been working on my 4 year degree for about 9 years now. It really hit hard when I started paying for university myself, initially I had scholarships and my dad paid but now its all me and dude that shit was one of the main things that pushed me to study more. Though it didn't always help, I still fucked up Calc 2 multiple times and now I need to take a 36 hour math placement course and pay around $200 extra to take the course again.
Additionally I've started setting times to study/do hw. I set aside a few hours a day and keep telling myself if I get this shit done during the week I can have my weekends. It took a while to get into practice but eventually it became normal.
It also helps to go through everything your profs give you the first few days of the course. I take everything from the syllabus and put it into my outlook/google calendar, then I sit there and make reminders and what not. That whole process helps me get an understanding of whats going on for the semester. This change didn't happen over night, it took me a couple of semesters to get this down, YMMV.
