make a list of what needs to be done, and promise yourself a reward (like going on the net) when you are done. always make a list the night before to start the day off right!
also, are you a perfectionist? being afraid to fail is one of the main reasons we procrastinate...and it is guaranteeing what we are afraid of! good luck.
Deactivate myspace! Hope this helps<3

Canucks is right. You need to take control of your life. Quit dicking around and do what needs to be done. I'd say that the best natural remedy is a swift kick in the @ss. Get to work.
I have the same problem. I spoke to a psychologist about it as it was causing problems with my family and household.
The main point is that you are the only one stopping yourself, so just do it!
I felt resentful at that concept, but it's true when you think about it. I'd sit about moping about what I hadn't achieved, would think about what he'd said, say 'JUST DO IT!' to myself, then get up and do it. The time you spend worrying is a waste of time. Good luck.
