I always find a response that can be answer just NEED MORE DRUGS! to be funny took me ages to get to a point where my procrastination wasn't harmful to me time management is such a hard skill to get down.

I put the pro in procrastination.
To stop procrastinating just turn off your computer or set rules for yourself. I don't allow myself to go on youtube when I have work to do and its working pretty well so far.

Start with something that you know will get you going. Go run around the block, it'll get the adrenaline running.
There now I have 800 and I can go to bed.

I have weak strong will so I constantly lose the fight.

But I have a wife who makes sure that I can't spend my time doing unproductive stuff which kind of fixes my problem.

I have some success with the '(10+2)*5' method.
Work for X min than stop for Y min. Repeat it for Z times.
Here is the link where I found the method: Procrastination hack
Myself, I work for 12 min than do whatever I want for 5 min (reading, surfing, ...) and I can go like that for few hours without trouble.

I need a wife. I'd be in bed hours ago, which would also rule on a different note. Crap somebody post some good answers!

It's my job, my child.

The really funny thing is that the reason I am reading this thread is that I am procrastinating doing some very important studying that is very urgent.
*sigh* There is no cure except death. For me and many others, life IS procrastination.

I'm sure so many people suffer from epic procrastinationitis. I know I do. I basically spend half of my time every day thinking "I should be doing something productive/work now". I'm even thinking that now.

Some methods I use, some have been mentioned before.
1) Fixed times / locations. Go somewhere where people are working and set yourself a time to do it. Routine eliminates the need to reconsider.
2) Co-workers. Nothing as motivating as knowing someone else will be hitting the library early in the morning with you. And later you can coffee-break together.
3) Small doses of starting. Trick yourself by thinking "I will only do this very minor part of it" and find out that you actually DO have an interest in finishing the whole thing. Once I start going (e.g. writing an essay), I realize that I want to finish and that the topic DID interest me after all.
4) Reward yourself from time to time. If you do a black-white routine of "jolly free time" and "dead serious work time", work time will appear lots harder.

I'm lazy, but I find myself doing large task in small portions. Like if I have to clean my room, wash clothes, and do dishes I'll do them in small portions. I'll wash a group of clothes, at least do my bed, and then wash like all the plates, or whatever. When the rinse comes up, I'll put rinse, wash all the glasses, and do whatever i was doing. Clothes finishes, load another group of clothes, wash forks, spoons, etc, etc. Rinse clothes again, fix room a lil more, slack off a bit more.
:D if you do things in small tasks, you get everything accomplished while being lazy as hell. :D:D:D:D

The biggest thing that helped me deal with my procrastination was my friends. I have a very loyal friend that helps push me when I need pushed, and reminds me of things that need remembering!

Use 'Subliminal Flash' a program that deals with your subliminal mind. It flash messages at insanely fast passes and deals with your subconscious. Might seem a bit bizzare but this shit actually works, just use the part dealing with procrastination. As for the other stuff, well go ahead and try it out but it actually fucks with ur mind more than any drug so use with caution!
SUBLIMINAL FLASH, PLAY WITH YOUR SUBCONCIOUS TO GET OVER SHIT

I was being serious.
It's now tomorrow as of today and I am going to answer it.
The way I deal with procrastination, is to do my work.
That kind of conquers it.
PS, This CoW character needs to relax, a shotgun blast or a ban because of a silly quip? Get a grip you Belgian bovine!
