The cure for Procrastination

The only cure for procrastination is action. Go beyond wishing, dreaming, considering, debating the options and get busy making it happen.
Yes, it's going to be a little uncomfortable, it's going to involve effort, it's going to require commitment, and you're going to run into difficult challenges. So ask yourself -- do you intend to make it happen or would you rather put it off again and again so that it never gets done?

What gets done is what gets done now. In a little while, in a couple of weeks, in a few years, when you get around to it -- these "somedays" never do come.

It's helpful to substitute the word "never" for someday, for that will force you to confront the issue. Give yourself the choice between doing it now or doing it never, and you'll be much more likely to do it now, if it's truly important to you.

This moment right now is loaded with great value. You can choose to take action, and make that value your own, or you can choose to do nothing and forever leave this moment's bountiful treasure behind.

Decide to accept the tremendous opportunity that is already available to you. Let go of the excuses, and make this the moment you jump into real, effective, purposeful action.

The cure for procrastination is to begin work the day it is assigned. To begin studying exactly the day of the beginning of lessons. So that way, when it's 1-2 weeks before an exam; one will be merely re-viewing covered material.

there's a saying DON'T DO TOMORROW, WHAT YOU CAN DO TODAY.
this might work to cure procrastinating.
in my case, it's always a case to case basis. there are things i find not a big deal that can wait tomorrow; just as there are things that cannot wait the next sunshine as well. for the former, i procrastinate; for the latter, i must get my arrrs out of here.

I always try to keep things organize and go by my daily schedule. A planned schedule keeps everything organized, and well spaced out. If you study/work on a daily basis; it adds up in the long run. Reading 5 pages a day translates to 25 pages read by the end of the week.

Good work ethic comes with success.

That is my take on that.
