Procrastination Support and Discussion Board

I am a new memeber to this website, and i am glad to say that I have finally taken steps to help myself. i have never understood that i had a problem with procrastination untill about a week ago when me and my boyfriend got into this huge fight about how i never do anything i say i am going to do anymore and about how its ruining our relationship. I didnt really think that i had a problem with it untill i realized that i always put things off and am so lazy. i hate that i am doing this to myself, and i dont understand why i am. i just want to be able to wake up in the morning and for once not always think about the things that i have to get done that day and actually be able to do them. my life is so bland and boring. ive become a homebody and i'mslipping at work. someone please help!!! what can i do?

Hi,

There are a lot of books out there on combatting procrastination. Two of my faves are The Now Habit by Neil Fiore and Do It Tomorrow by Mark Forster. One thing that seems to help a lot of people is establishing something where you tell another person what you're going to do by when and then followup to let them know how it went. There is another website with a "check-ins" forum where people post their to do lists and then later post updates on what they're gotten done. People are very supportive there.
