I was a really really bad procrastinator. To a point that I could spent months doing absolutely nothing just procrastinating and feeling so bad about myself. The biggest change in my life was to make really small amounts of work. I was thinking in a way that tomorrow I could go to the library and then I would work for 8 hours and then everything will be alright. But I never went to the library. Now I just say to myself, I don't want to do this, but I only need to .. (read 3 pages/ go to the gym for 10 minutes/etc etc). At the beginning of each day find out what you want to do that day and make it reaally small. Because it is so small I begin doing it right away, it gets you in a productive mindset and that can lead to being more productive the rest of the day.

Because I only had to do so little I did it because what is 3 pages of reading anyway, most of the times the 3 pages would lead to 15 more pages and sometimes I would just let it by 3 pages. Now you can think what is 3 pages? But I did absolutely nothing because I was such a bad procrastinator. And 3 pages is so much more than nothing.

It is a mindset change because at first you will still be putting yourself with to much work, but everyday you do nothing you have to make the amount of work you do tomorrow smaller. That also gives you more stress about coming deadlines and will lead to doing more that day.
