Procrastination is the deferment or avoidance of an action or task which requires completion by focusing on some other action or task. For the person procrastinating this may result in stress, a sense of guilt, the loss of productivity, the creation of crisis, and the chagrin of others for not fulfilling one's responsibilities or commitments. While it is normal for individuals to procrastinate to some degree, it becomes a problem when it impedes normal functioning. Chronic procrastination may be a sign of an underlying psychological or physiological disorder.
The word itself comes from the Latin word procrastinatus: pro- (forward) and crastinus (of tomorrow). The term's first known appearance was in the 17th century, during a sermon by a Reverend Anthoney Walker on procrastination. The sermon reflected procrastination's connection at the time to task avoidance or delay, volition or will, and sin.

Write a list of all the stuff I need to do and work out what is the most important. When I've decided what to do first, I tell myself that when I've done it I can have a reward, be that watching TV for an hour, spending time online, eating a chocolate bar, playing with my pets, going out for a walk, whatever.
It works fairly well when I eventually get around to writing the list in the first place!

I don't fight with it - I just log on to Yahoo Answers anyway. Even though I should be working.

It is both a state of mind and a habit you acquire. Begin one step at a time. When you have somthing to do, your first thought would be to postpone it. Disregard that and think to yourself that you will do it now.
