How do I stop procrastinating?

Defeat Procrastination!

Don't let procrastination keep you from success! Make a list of all that needs to be done. Set priorities by numbering the items on your list in the order of their importance. Start with your number one priority and work your way down. Break large items/tasks (e.g., writing a paper) into smaller, more manageable components. Set realistic deadlines for each item or component item. Reward yourself (with a short break, a round of a video game, 15 minutes of web-surfing) after completing each item.
