I feel similarly about the first 2 bits of this. Did you read the procrastination links Andrew posted yesterday? The advice in the second post is excellent - I've beaten mine mostly into submission at work thro meticulous planning.
Pompeii is a fantastic place to visit, I highly recommend it. Go on the train rather than a guided tour (you can buy excellent guide books) so you can spend all day there, and do the bits closest to the car park really early or late in the day because they will be utterly packed from late morning to early afternoon with all the people who go on coach tours and only see a fraction of it. Herculaneum is a much smaller site that you can do in an afternoon but you could spend 2 days at Pompeii easily.
