Does anyone have a cure for procrastination. Whenever I have work to do I always push it off to the side and never get it done. This is so strong its been going on for my entire life and can never get anything done when I want to. Though I always get it done it creates unhealthy stress for me and I get to the point where I don't care and I'd rather live with the stress than do the work. I've always been lazy when it cam to work but I wouldn't be lazy to the point where I'd sit on the couch and become overweight. I always keep myself in good shape but struggle with work all the time. Does anyone have any suggestions to help this problem?

The unfinished projects and or cleaning the house seem to be what you are talking abt mostly
Here is my suggestion: Write down the 25 things that are most important to you in the order of their importance. If fixing that broken chair isn't on the list, give the chair to the Salvation Army, or someone who might fix it. Concentrate on your 25 things and get rid of the other projects.
Each day, take the time to complete one small task. When you go to bed, speak aloud to yourself"I did great today! I finised that____!" Praise yourself for the things accomplished and DO Not fault yourself for anything undone.
One thing I like to do when my house is cluttered and looks hopeless is to create a 3' by 3' area that I fix up each week. I make just that area in a way that is useful AND pretty. Gradually I create more of these in my house.It really boosts my spirits when I look at my "new" area and I find myself going to that area to read or eat or whatever. And gradually my house is becoming beautiful in lots of areas!!
I takes a little extra effort to maintain the areas but it is well worth it.
Good luck!

Procrastination is like a habit. It's hard to break. But, what my school buddies and I do is watch each other's backs, whether it be from procrastination to exercising. One of my friends has a procrastination problem What I would do is call him and ask how he's been doing with his work. If I hear from him that it isn't good, I automatically tell him to stop whatever he is doing at that instant and sit himself down and start his work. If he says that he'll start five minutes later, I tell him to go NOW! And, I keep talking in a strong voice and don't hang up until he has started on his work. I say things such as, "Come on! You know what you're doing is bad. Stop playing games and start on your homework!" Although we are not constantly checking up with each other, a little support can go a long way. So, get someone who will be firm when talking when it comes to your work. Hope this helped, and good luck!

Time is the most valuable commodity on earth!! If you could sell it you would be the wealthiest person in the world.NASA discovered a universe the other day that is 500 billion years old.That's a long time compared to the amount of time we will live here,what 70,80,90,maybe 100 years?I am in the same boat as you and have decided to make ever minute count.When I eat,I eat as if it is my last meal(because it may be)when I work,I get the job done (because I may not be here tomorrow to finish it).I do everything right now,I don't want to put things off anymore.I have wasted enough time in my life and it sucks!! It's like that old saying,"get busy living or get busy dying"! I have been dead long enough.Peace!!
