    no cure for procrastination... you just have to have self-control to get things done.

    Yep sure is, it's called discipline, you do what you have to do, before you do what you want to do.
    One day I'll try it out.

    i heard that people procrationate because they are perfectionists. if they do something and procratonate on it, and say, they do it poorly, they just blame it on their procrastionation. that way they wont admit thier own failures. its a sub-concious thing, like "i dont want people to think i am bad at it so ill put it off so that if i do bad, it will be because i didnt have enough time, not that i actually did bad"

    I have written thus far approx 90 pages in 11 days. And I STILL procrastinated. I call it "breaks".
