See, now get out and do things for once, like your homework.

Just b urself :^)

What do you want to do, OP? Begin from listing your dreams.

You can do it ITT, if you like.

You already are living your life, or rather, wasting it away by procrastinating. This "future you" who won't procrastinate and will "start living life" doesn't exist, so stop delegating everything to him. Only your present self exists, and you are mostly in control of it.

Not OP, but I appreciate your post in my current situation. You just made me set up a to-do list for the day, which I was in great need of.

Just start doing something you like or have to do, dont think about it

Train yourself.

First off, instant gratification. Get rid of it.
Entertainment, internet, porn, video games... Out the window for now.

Yeah, it sucks shit, but when you're sitting there bored off your ass and staring at a clock, you'll start to realize just how much time you have, and just how much time you waste doing nothing.

Well shit, you don't have instant gratification anymore to satiate you, and YOU HAVE THE WILLPOWER TO NOT CAVE IN, so you might as well do something at this point to improve your situation. You've got a long list of shit to do, and it isn't getting any shorter.

You're taking time from what you want to do in order to avoid doing what you don't want to do. You're escaping into unfulfilling mediums in order to distract your mind from the parts of your life that you need to fix.

It's like lifting weights, or training your body for extreme cold weather conditions. It's starts off as, "Fuck, this sucks." and ends like, "That was pretty good. I wonder how much better I can do?"

That's real gratification. That's progress.

I agree with this sentiment. This is just how I got more done in a day, OP.

I used to feel like, fuck, I just can't find the time to do all this shit. But then when I cut out video games, television, and dicking around with magic cards, I had enough time to get every fucking thing done before 3 pm.

I was just so used to inserting leisure activities into my day. I would do one productive thing, but then I would have to spend time goofing off somehow.

Now I go from finishing one task directly into starting the next task. No break. No letting up. Just hit it hard. There is still that moment of hesitation, but it's easy to push through it and once you've started the next task, you realize it isn't so bad. Doing work is almost never as bad as it seems it will be. Somehow our ability to estimate how much of a chore work will be has become warped, and so everything seems like climbing a mountain.

If ever I start something and, holy fuck, it really is like climbing a mountain, then it's fine for me to stop and change my game plan and schedule. But I demand of myself that I just dive in and get started and see how hard it really is, first, because I know I just can't trust my perception.

Also, and this is maybe kinda stupid, but it has helped me when I slip into procrastination mode: Having a sort of hero or role model that you can focus on can really help you get moving. At least for me. I spend some time thinking about a hard working writer that I admire, and I think that on some level it kind of makes me pretend that I am him, or something like that, and that makes it easier for me to break my not-working inertia and get started. It's like I borrow motivation from someone else, or rather, my concept of that someone. Then, once I have my own inertia, I can generally keep it going on my own, if I am vigilant at it.
