I suffer from it on occasion. I take the advice of a friend, who says "Just do it".

Alot of times what causes my procrastination is not having the proper materials to do a job, or not having all of them at the time I want to do it. "Just doing it" gets you going even when the conditions aren't optimal.

I usually sleep on it and deal with procrastination tomorrow.

Make lists and post them in VERY obvious places.

The only problem with that is, you find that nothing on those lists is getting done and the lists are everywhere. You know you need to clean them up, but.................

I go through periods when it seems like I can do little else but procrastinate. The only way I can break through it is to visualise completing the task and start on the project immediately, even if only in the smallest way. Once I finally get started, I'm all go.
