I have the same problem I realize it but I'm not able to overcome it .. I'm having problems at school because I'm not studying properly .. Although I really have great plans for my future .. And I'm the kind of people that are afraid of failing .. And regrets wasted time alot .. When I have any important test .. I don't study until late night hours because I realize last that I have to atleast pass the test .. As soon as I start studying I feel sleepy and go straight to bed after setting an alarm to wake up early and study few hours before the test .. It's really tiering and I don't really know why I care .. And why do I care in the last Minuite. It's not about studying only .. Everything .. Although I get alot of credit or I used to get credit for getting things done perfectly (like projects), I always have done them late.. I rarely acheive things exactly at time.. I mostly pass the time of completing anything.. I need tips that are more effective .. Because these doesn't really work ATM .. They used to before but too bad . Not now .. And btw. I'm almost a senior high-schooler and in a bad need for a decent average.. To reach university.. I'm really scared if failing it all.

Getting started is something I sometimes struggle with, even now (I should follow my own advice far more often!). But things are simply not going to improve by doing nothing, so it's best to get going. Make sure that you're working on the right stuff though. The bigger the pile of stuff to do, the bigger the number of unimportant tasks among them. @Ralph Oliver – Glad to be of help.

I'm having goosebumps as I speak. I'm having the same predicament. I've been battling about this for weeks. My body just feels so sluggish and weak. I get stuck on my Mac for hours without any productive motive. When I'm sitting on my bed, I head for the pillows and I dose to sleep in no time. But when I need to go to sleep, i can't. It's crazy knowing that there are lots of agenda I need to accomplish. They just pile up and it feels too much to handle that I'm back to being idle again. This surely can help. Thank God for this. I'll try your tricks and will report the progress. I even had your site at my bookmarks bar to be reminded. Great site! This blog is what I needed all this time. Thanks! Wow!

I don't do this every day myself. This really depends on what I want to accomplish that day. If I want to feel business-like and focussed, wearing a business attire helps! Another thing: when I find myself procrastinating on something important I now start doing simple household chores to get in the mood of doing stuff. Just by being active doing _something_ the step towards doing the thing you really wanted/needed to do becomees smaller. Rolf’s remark is spot on. I don’t do this every day myself.
