I think this is an interesting experiment. Considering that you have pretty good performance with your present system, I wonder what other benefits you might notice. Do you feel less stressed? Higher self-esteem? That being said, I think you need to decide on some criteria for success since "raising your grades" isn't reasonable. I also think you need to define how long you will work...homework and syudying is never really finished.

This is a good change to make in your life, and I hope that you are able to succeed in it and keep it up past this assignment. I suggested to Jason on his Padlet that going to the closest public library can help you focus and get in the mood to work. It also provides a nice, quiet environment.
As far as research goes, though, I think you are hitting the nail on the head.

Joe, I feel like you already have good work ethics in your life. The only thing that you could possibly change is your procrastination. But I mean, everyone does it. If you can eliminate most of that habit, your work ethic should sky rocket.
You could get a lot out of this for your paper also.

I feel your pain here, sometimes I like to just get my work done and don't really think about how well I did it. Sometimes what I do is try to think, "okay let's make this teacher go wow with how amazingly stellar this assignment is" and then just kick butt. Also, it might help to take breaks in between subjects during homework time. That way you don't feel like you're wasting leisure time or that you rush through your work to have free time.

When it comes to studying or doing homework, I find that the rewards system works best. For example, if you're a food person, buy your favorite candy and reward yourself for each page you finish studying by eating a piece of candy. Or, if you're a TV person, study/do homework for 10-20 minutes and watch your favorite show for 5.

The most important thing (I've found) is getting into a routine. Having a schedule, even a loose one, helps. It helps you push to get things done due to the "pressing" time limit.

Just in case my hacks don't help, here are some other ones:

I like your goal. You seem to have some specifics worked out, but you could still use some more specific goals. Stay determined and don't give up. However, don't make your life terrible. Still save some time for fun!

I think this is something very worthwhile to strive after. The main suggestion I would have would be to reward yourself for having a good work effort. For example, if you finish your homework by 7 pm, you can let yourself play video games for a couple hours without feeling guilty.

~Try not to be content with what you have already accomplished, keep pushing yourself because it will pay off in the long run.
~Try not to be distracted by other things and just try to do a little bit at a time and then do leisure activities.

I feel the struggle. Is is important to remember that life will get harder than it is in high school. Make sure to look at the fruits of your labor. See how much you improve after these thirty days, that will help you keep it up.

Start work immediately when I get home from school. Wake up and work on college and scholarship applications on the weekend. Put work first, leisure second.

What are the differences between people with and without good work ethics?

What are the life and psychological consequences of procrastination?

What are the effects of leisure time on people? Is too little bad/too much bad?

How do college students adjust to the difference in workload?

What areas of study have the most procrastinators/the least?

Why do I procrastinate?

I've done pretty well in high school without having developed a good work ethic. I need to change this if I am going to lead a successful life. I need to put work over leisure and just put more of myself into the important things and less of myself into wastes of time.

I've wasted so much time in this class that I didn't even have time to finish the title of this post. I often find myself starting my homework in the later hours of the night or going to bed without doing much. My grades are still good but I fear for myself next year and need to change if I'm going to succeed!
