Probably by separating yourself from the biggest distraction, i.e. Yahoo! Answers or AIM. :-)
Seriously though, as a college student that has a hard time with this one...I obey this law that says an action will take as long as you give it time for (i.e....an essay will take all day if you give it the day or a couple hours if you give it a couple hours).
I usually plan something I want to do and only let myself go if I finish my work. My favorite - have my friends plan to hit the bars and if I'm not done, I don't go.
Try and finish the day before the day something is due...gives you time to edit, talk to your teacher/classmates, etc. If you can do that you're doing just as well as the rest of us!!! :)

Procrastination, no matter what type it is or what is applies to, is about a lack of discipline. It's definately a phsychological thing. As soon as you know that something must be done, whether it's chores or homework or buying someone a birthday present...
!. Designate a time/schedule
2.Write it down
3. STICK TO IT!
There isn't anything that can be done physically about procrastination because it's all in your head. Just remember DISCIPLINE!!! DISCIPLINE!!! DISCIPLINE!!!

If you have to do something, and it's not fun, maybe you can make if fun somehow. Put some music on, dance around the chore, think that once it is done, it will be done and you can stop procrastinating.

I'll tell you later. Ha! Seriously, though, the only way is to just make yourself get up and do whatever it is you need to do. Some people make lists, or even do a timeline. Appointment calendars are good for this too, you just write what you need to do in the time slots of when you need to do it. Hope that helps, I might be beyond all hope, myself!

I stopped by never starting. It is a mess once you get into into it. Here are some tips:
Make a list of what needs to get done. This can be listed in no particular order and will give you a handle on just what you need to accomplish.
Prioritize these. My way of doing this is by deadlines. I arrange them in order of when they are due. You may also choose to rank them by how important it is to get them done. For example, paying your bills on time may be more important to you than cleaning out your closets. Do that first.
Get yourself a calendar with room to write notes in. I personally use a bound notebook and write in dates as I go. I make pages with dates for long-term planning and also keep a separate list that I transfer my short-term goals to.
Take what's at the top of your priority list and determine how long it will take to accomplish it. If it's a quick task, put that down to be done the current day. If it will take a longer time, divide it into smaller tasks to be spread out over several days. Write this in your calendar with specific dates for accomplishing each. Include your deadline for completion of this task on your calendar as well.
Keep filling your calendar until you have a time set aside to do each item while still meeting your deadlines. Be careful to not overbook yourself and allow plenty of time for delays. This will allow you to feel confident that you can accomplish all you need to in the time you have. Now you can relax and work on one item at a time without feeling you have to do it all at once.

You could go to the procrastination conference that is happening in February. It is the one that was scheduled in 1997.

I stop procrastination by remembering what the consequences will be.
