Hmmm… Procrastination is such a hard habit to break completely. You know you want to switch into the Action stage of a project but as soon as you sit down to work, the slightest distraction will take you off the task in hand. I was so after a solution to stopping this and did a search. Up came this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Now-Habit-Overcoming-Procrastination-Guilt-Free/dp/0874775043
It does have some excellent ways to stopping procrastination. I found it to be very helpful. Instead of making time for work, you make time for the other things in your life that are not being done…

Procrastination is the bad habit of putting off until the day after tomorrow what should have been done the day before yesterday. - Napoleon Hill
Attributed to Napoleon Hill. It is Napoleon Hills books that have fired up my study of habits. Especially in relationship to the Foundation of Personal Development.

If there is a habit that will stop success in it’s tracks it is procrastination. This seethingly bad habit is the major cause of people not reaching their goals. You can gain more knowledge than the worlds libraries. Spend year upon year studying with the best minds and know everything there is about a subject. But until you take action and apply that knowledge, you may as well know nothing. I’m still reading The Law Of Succes by Napoleon Hill, by the way, and as Hill goes through each of his steps to success it becomes so obvious that if you do not take action with the knowledge you have, none of the steps to success will ever be taken. I’ll go through the reason why we procrastinate in another post, but just for now take action for something you’ve been putting off and just do it. You’ll find it wasn’t so hard to do, in fact, it’ll kinda feel good.
The more you take action the more that taking action becomes a habit…
