Create a timetable for yourself and schedule hard tasks for when you feel your best.

I completely agree with what Andrew said. To-do lists are a great way to help you prioritize what needs to be done (I make them a lot, some people think it’s a little compulsive but hey, you don’t see me procrastinating). =D “It is the job that is never started that takes the longest to finish.” – J.R.R. Tolkien. Up and at ‘em!

I write some rules that work for me, of course you should make your own set of rules. 1) stick to your own set of rules (without this rule there is nothing more to say!); anyway see also rule number 5. 2) If the task will take less than a couple of minutes, almost without exception, just do the task right away; examples of possible exceptions: you are cooking a difficult dish, your family requires immediately your attention . 3) the key to not procrastinating is to prioritize tasks in order of urgency, always go around with a pen and sheets of paper, where you may annotate the tasks that cannot be handled immediately, and that will undergo a 'categorization' step. 4) group your notes in categories, and observe once every few days the progress on each of these categories. 5) discuss with a close friend your progress in the non-procrastinating learning process, and possibly set up some rules if you fail, like you buy a big ice-cream to this friend each N items that you procrastinate without a valid reason. I'll think better about your question, and might add something tomorrow (this is NOT procrastinating, it is trying to do better!)

Hi!It seems that fighting and struggling lead to nowhere. You could use your lazyness to relax,to have some rest.As for "procrastination" it sounds a little bit like clanking.The word itself is unpleasant.Avoid it.Good luck
