I have the same problem. For example, I'm procrastinating right now by posting this rather than finishing my homework.
However, there are things you can do to stop procrastinating. I usually unplug my internet adapter, or shut off my computer and even pull the plug after it is shut off.
I feel that since it'll be too much of a pain to turn the computer back on, it won't distract me.
I have problems when I need to do my homework using internet research, because there are so many distractions online.
Sometimes, its best to give yourself a time limit. For example, if you have an essay, say something like, "I'm going to finish this paragraph no matter what in 15 minutes by 9:00 pm."
Making short goals, is much easier than making long goals, like "I'm going to finish this 3 page essay in 2 hours." Those don't work because its easier to get sidetracked the longer you work on something.
Also, with short goals, you have more flexibility and can take a few minutes break between each short goal or paragraph.
One more thing. BY READING THIS, YOU ARE PROCRASTINIATING AND WASTING EVEN MORE TIME.

I procrastinate a lot too, and finally came to the conclusion that it was because I have so many things to do that I get overwhelmed and don't do any of them. So I find that making a list of the things that I need to do, and only selecting one or two that I'm going to do each day, helps a lot.

Just get off your butt, no matter if u know what you are going to do or not. Once your up its easier to occupy yourslef. Its always the first step thats the hardest, so get out or do it, unless u want to be old and remember all the times u sat on your ***......... the good ol years'

Try to find pleasure in accomplishing the tasks you need to do. Schedule your time and stick to your schedule. Don't forget to reward yourself for working diligently.
