Make a list and cross off each item as you do it. It is a mind thing so you have to JUST DO IT! When making the list, keep in mind that you want to put the hardest thing or the thing that you really do not want to do as number one so that you will do it first. Good luck.

If you think your procrastination problem is due to a dis-interest in most everything - until it has a deadline, or a horrific consequence if it does not get done, then your body may be relying on adrenaline surges to put enough blood sugar in your bloodstream, to fuel your brain and body.. . If this sounds right, then check out low blood sugar at www.hufa.org to find out how to double check for it, and what to do to control it.. . If you have low blood sugar then that is likely part of the procrastination problem.

Drink some ice water to get you going. I find myself procrastinating a lot more when my body is run down and dehydrated. If I drink enough water in a day however I am less lazy.
