Just get off your ass and do it. The thoughts of doing it is far more painful than the reality.
Break it up in bids. Small sections. Reward yourself if you've done it.
If not, shoot yourself you lazy fuck.

If there's time to post, there's time to toast... pick up that champage glass and get that little thai hooker girlfriend of yours pregnant already.

Look into action-orientation, action-inertia and counterfactual thinking.
Basically it boils down to a set of personality traits that prevent people from taking action. Either from a fear of uncertainty, the inability to set sensible goals, getting stuck in 'what if' scenario's etc.
It's not a clear cut picture.

there are people that are habitually late for everything all the time...seen a study where it was caused by something physiological & they cant help themselves...I say just kill um but they frown on that kinda stuff..

I disagree...I have one area of my life I procrastinate in...it's in entrepreneurship, I have ideas, business plans and in some cases the potential for financial backing...I end up over thinking it, "this will go wrong", "i don't want to deal with this" "blah, blah, blah" and they end up as meaningless ideas...Everything else in my life, I'm good with...it's just that...

I gave some pointers 3 posts up ;)
And to comment on Wiggs, there seems to be a good amount of 'life domain specificity'. People being pro-active in one scenario and procrastinating in another. Past experience and self-confidence likely have some role to play. In the end it's a real muddy picture. What's common to a certain extent in a lot of people is a resistance to change. Procrastination helps avoid change. Some people procrastinate from making decisions, in the end life will chose for them.

Pizzacat are there ways to overcome this besides following the Nike slogan?

It's a matter of willpower and good goal setting mostly, set clear deadlines and concrete, achievable goals. Rid yourself of as much distractions as possible. Very often the thought of having to do something is worse than actually doing it, keep that in mind. Procrastination isn't per definition bad, a certain amount of contemplation doesn't hurt big decisions. I just remembered another aspect, some have trouble suppressing their urge for 'instant satisfaction', this leads to fun before work. This seems like neurobiological component of procrastination.

the whole issue of procrastination and inaction hits very close to home with me........sometimes i feel it will be the death of me
i keep waiting for a someday that never comes
i rember the first time i read this story, it scared me to the core...........cause it such a parallel of my life
this guy, Bartleby, for one reason or another, just becomes so detached that to every request he just replies "i would prefer not to"......until he ceases to perform the most base functions necessary to maintain existance, and dies

Almost everyone will find him/herself procrastinating at one point or another. I'm no exception.
The book sounds interesting, I'll pick it up from the library.
