I'll tell you later.

Same problem. Once read a tip about trying to do what you're procrastinating on only for 5 minutes. It's not a lot of time, and you're just starting a little bit. For me it's usually starting with something that I struggle with, but once I do get into it it's a lot easier. So the 5 min rule helps, if you still don't feel motivated after 5 min, do something else. It's a pretty okay method, helps sometimes

This is kind of dumb but hear me out. You can harness your power. I'll give an example. I don't like doing the dishes, I don't hate it, but it's my least favourite cleaning thing. So what I do is get em started, then avoid doing them as much as I can. I'll go around and find other stuff to do instead, pick up some crap, take out the garbage, do some laundry, bathroom, whatever. After a few hours, everything is done, except the dishes, but then the dishes are super easy because, with everything else done, it's just a little thing.

Also, habits. If you get used to just doing something right then, especially if it's just small, it just becomes a thing you do rather than something you have to think about.

Just do the thing. Its.simple, but it's not easy. Procrastination is an anxious response, so ask yourself what are you anxious about that .along you avoidant, and while you're thinking about that, just do the task.

Mindfulness so you can catch yourself procrastinating.

Educate yourself on emotional intelligence. Start asking yourself "how do I feel right now?". Usually there's a reason for you to delay tasks.

Write down your plan for the day. Write down your plan for the day. Write down your plan for the day. I can't stress this enough. It's stupid. It's simple. But for some reason it works.

Also, just do it.

Also, don't be afraid to take a bit of rest. Try to stick to a workable segment (example: I'll work for 30 minutes, rest, work for 30 minutes, rest), then increase the duration until you feel comfortable. Much easier to start with small chunks than big ones, it feels less daunting, thus making you less prone to procrastinate.

I never make the thing i don't want to do my primary activity, i always demote it to my secondary activity. For example, When i needed to vacuum the house, I used to listen to music while vacuuming...not anymore, I vacuum the house while I listen to music. This simple perception shift helps me to remain excited to vacuum the house because It's an opportunity to listen to music primarily.

I was told that a new habit becomes habit after two weeks of going it. It's not true. The reality is that time passes and no one misses out on it except for you. So good luck.

Read the summary of Atomic Habits. Don't mess around. Go read it right now! Even if you just read one line. It'll take you 5 seconds.

I have the same problem as you. Currently failing a couple east class due to my inability to do shit :/ But last year I was actually doing well my solution was not doing my work at home. I used a Starbucks near my house along with the school library. I put my phone on silent just started on something mundane and then worked up to the bigger stuff. Hope this helps in some way (:

I have the same problem. Write yourself a to-do list. It can be overwhelming when you have so many tasks to do. Prioritise them and write them down so you can see them in front of you. Give yourself time limits to finish tasks, take breaks and reward yourself every time you complete a task. Put your phone away in another room! It's okay if you can't get some things done, it'll still be there tomorrow. Sorry that's all I got.

But really... find some ani-procrastinating material and keep it at attentions length.

Work dash - 15 minute timer, one task that’s so big it makes you procrastinate. Break after the 15 minutes and start again.

Read The Now Habit by Neil Fiore

Sometimes the thing that works for me is to understand that even organizing and setting things up to do the thing is doing it. That is, the setup also counts.

In practice that could mean unpacking, setting out your tools in order and skimming through the manual.

You are pretty much lowering the unknown and can hopefully jump into it without as much resistance afterwards.

Just do it.

1. Self discipline.
2. Plan, schedule & write down what you need to do.
3. Repeat.

Impossible, you're already dead.

Get off Reddit (and all other social media).

My biggest procrastination issue was getting ready and leaving the house in the AM for work.

I eventually solved this by waking up two hours early. I realized I just liked puttering around the house, having a second cup of coffee, while watching the news.

One night I was feeling restless so I simply got up early and started my day. I had two cups of coffee, read the newspaper, got into the car before rush hour and got to see the sunrise.

Obviously it doesn’t work for most scenarios.

Now that I’m retired here’s some funny insights. I used to be able to kill hours while I was working, just window shopping in the dollar stores or playing games. It’s easy when you are killing someone else’s time.

But now that I’m retired all those little things aren’t as fun when I’m just wasting MY time.

Well first and foremost you’ll want to…hang on, I’ll be right back.

Do it tomorrow.

Sometimes I look at doing a task today as a favor for myself tomorrow because I know I'll want to do it even less then.

When I was in Junior high my history teacher made us recite this poem in front of the class if we missed X amount of assignments.

Procrastination is a crime It only leads to sorrow I can stop it anytime I think I will Tomorrow

it still cracks me up

Setup a visual reminder of the thing you need to do. Place it where you will be looking at it constantly. In front of tv, computer, etc, wherever you waste time. If you can't ignore it at all, you're giving your willpower more chances to win.

Just get started.
