I’ve struggled with procrastination all my life. My struggle has recently improved as a result of learning different strategies. A former podcast called iProcrastinate (no longer releasing episodes, but available online) features an in-depth discussion about procrastination by a psychologist who studies the topic.
Procrastination is the assassination of motivation
1 It’s not about how you “feel.”
You’re never going to feel like doing the task you’re avoiding due to it being boring, difficult, confusing, etc.2 Stop waiting for the moment when you have less resistance to the task at hand.
It won’t happen. Recognize that you are resistant to the task and begin to accomplish it anyway. You’ll often find that it wasn’t as bad as you thought it was.Attachments:

This is really great advice! I’ve found that using the Pomodoro Technique helps keep me on track when I find myself procrastinating.
Now, I’m less stringent on myself. Being self employed, I’ve also learned that it has little to do with motivation and everything to do with discipline.
