Start small - since tv is your weakness, use it as incentive. Pick one thing you want to get done & don't "let" yourself watch tv until it's done...OR...just decide to not watch tv for an hour & see how much you can get done in that hour. How about getting up during the commercials to work on something...
I'm a recovering procrastinator, myself...whatever you decide, do it TODAY, not tomorrow!...
Good luck!

The best way to change your behavior is to set up a system of rewards and punishments. Since you love to watch T.V. that could be your reward. Only allow yourself to watch a show after you have accomplished something. After you watch that show, do something else you have to do, and then watch another. If you find yourself watching a show without doing something constructive first, punish yourself by not allowing yourself to watch T.V. the next day. If you feel you will be too tempted, try unplugging the T.V. or having someone else hide the remote. When doing this, it is sometimes easier to enlist the help of someone else so you don't cheat.

If you watch a show for 1 hour....do something else for an hour. Force yourself and stick to it, you might find that the tv wont be the distraction anymore. But you can always start a new routine tomorrow. lol

Do not sit when you are watching the tv. Keep standing while you are watching, it helps me always, that way, I do not watch for a long time and feel tired.
