Procrastinaton can have an additive affect for sure.  Try to break down your tasks into the smallest easiest pieces and promise to do just one of the pieces.  When I get in a procrastination place - I find that making a list of the simple component parts gives me something to do that does not require a lot of thought.  And typically once I've done one of the simple things - the second third and fourth simple things seem to get done too.  Works for me.

what i found that helps, is take notes.... even if you don't want to... or, an alternate, though i don't do it, bring a notebook, and halfpay attention, half work on some work,/homewrok/ doodle... whatever keeps your mind moving.... it'll look like you're playing attention. I reccomend talkig notes though... they'll help later.

Keep a to-do list electronically so that you can constantly re-prioritize it. Print it out first thing in the morning, and keep it in your sight all day. Don't be afraid to put small tasks on the list. It will help you feel like you're accomplishing more during the day. Cross off tasks as you finish them and update the electronic copy at the end of the day.\n\nIf you need an hour or more to work on something, schedule the time on your calendar so that no one schedules a meeting for you. This also helps you keep yourself on track. Put aside other tasks (unless they're urgent, of course), and concentrate on that one project for the time you've scheduled. It really helps.

1 - Stop wasting time on internet sites lol\n\n2 - Prioritise your workload and make a "To Do" list\n\n3 - If you know that you will not meet your deadline, talk to whoever set it, explain why not and when the work will be completed by.\n\n4 - Look at why you are in this situation. Are you receiving too much work? Have you wasted time? Are you involving others to help you, or delegating properly as appropriate? What can be done to prevent a repeat situation?\n\n5 - Sometimes when I have a lot of work to do I find it helps to actually stand back from it for a little while. I'll go for a short walk outside, clear my head, plan what I am going to do, and then return refreshed and able to better cope with the situation. Despite the time "lost" with the break, I will then be able to complete the work a lot faster and without the stress!

Just do the feared things first and delegate the rest. There is nothing bad about procrastination! You just have to learn to procrastinate well.\n\nFeared things first.\nFirst things second\nSecond things moved up\nFun things last\n\nWork to appreciate and value play.\nRemember the only way to eat an Elephant is one bite at a time!\nIt breaks down to a daily discipline

Divide tasks into small, easy to do parts. Also try to ignore the things that disturb you, ie: TV, Computer (if you can help it), iPod, ect.\n\nHere is an example how to divide the tasks into smaller parts. Let's say we have a report due in 1 week. Here is a made-up schedule:\n\nDay 1\n-Find information for 30 minutes\n\nDay 2\n-Find information for 30 minutes\n\nDay 3\n-Write rough draft for 30 minutes\n\nDay 4\n-Finish rough draft\n\nDay 5\n-Write Final Copy for 30 minutes\n\nDay 6\n-Finish final copy\n\nDay 7\n-Relax\n\nBy doing a little work each day, I find it to make things easy in the long run. I think that working for about 30 minutes a day will not be tiring, but you will still get quite a bit done.

2 things have worked for me.\n\n1. Keep yourself busy, do something you like. I have about 6 different hobbies!\n\n2. Deep breathing. When I do a performance at my school, I give myself 5 minutes to keep myself calm by breathing. \n\nA prayer doesn't go amiss either.

Turn off your computer! Don't drink coffee, DO eat chocolate, and TRY to get excited about the subject matter. Read with interest. Once you stop procrastinating and actually start, you may find it easier than you thought!

write 24 hours on a piece of rubber or plastic and stretch it.\n\non a serious note-\n\norganise things, set your priorities and goals for a certain day and make sure you follow them. don't stick to anything that you feel is wasting your time at present. if its the net cut down on it. if its useless chatting cut down on it too.\n\nand just in case you aren't wasting time and utilising it to the fullest why worry. \n\nyou can't kill yourself man.\n\nALL THE BEST!!

Make sure the timetable is realistic and flexible.\nYou will need to modify your plans to suit circumstances.\nDon't make it all work and no play. Have you got enough breaks in the plan?\nThe most productive time is usually the second hour of study so use the first to do relatively trivial tasks.\nDon't feel bad if you digress and procrastinate, since you will only come to hate the feeling and avoid trying to study. Do what you can at first and reward yourself in some way.\nAvoid things that you know will distract you; working alone with quiet background music suits most people.\nStudying will become a habit - but this does not happen suddenly and you will need to force yourself at times.

Okay, I won't say just do it.  But I'm a procrastinator at heart but I find that even though I want to put things off I know that once I get started I will do what needs to be done and usually go on to do a bunch of other things.  If I don't start it won't get done.  It's just that simple.  I don't know if there is any actual cure for it.

I have procrastinated my way through school, university and my job (that is why I am on here). I have only just started understanding why I do it.\n\nThere are many reasons why - fear of failure, fear of doing something difficult, etc. There is only one solution - getting into a habit of starting (not finishing!) at a certain time. Set yourself a target of starting - doing 15 minutes and then you will find that you probably don't want to stop!\n\nDon't overburden yourself. Aim to start, not to get it done. Do 15 minutes NOW. Oh, and get off the internet. It will not help you right now.

You do realize that you are now procrastinating? Just get up! Try doing things you have always wanted to do, put yourself infront of people you like.
