Ok now, good tips on how to stop procrastination and actually get stuff done?

There's no 1 answer to it. It cannot be solved in an instant. I attend therapy to deal with issues in my life. I find Procrastination a single most disastrous thing in my life.
When discussed, I was told that focus on self Discipline. Here are things i was told -

1. Try to make a timetable which has all the indulgences you do(netflix etc) and also the work you wanna do, experiment with time tables to understand what works.
2. Try to get to root of the problem when you procrastinate. Find out why you are doing it. I do it knowingly as in, I am consciously aware of it. I am now in pursuit of finding why I do it when I do it and sticking to a plan I make.
3. I have made a note of how harmful Procrastination has been in my life, how it has affected so many aspects of my life
4. Procrastination is a way of dealing with your emotions so that you get the immediate dopamine hit instead of a reward far later in your life. So, I am told that it's like having a relationship with yourself. You reason with yourself and understand why you are procrastinating, what emotions are you feeling that is making you procrastinate and how do you solve for it! Remember, being hard on yourself is just gonna make matters worse! Always do truth seeking for these things, be kind to yourself. Little by little you should be able to navigate.

Unfortunately without knowing what kind of Procrastination you have, it's not advisable to take up my points. I suggest consult with a therapist and talk it out and solve for it!

These 2 books have helped me immensely, even if you are not reading the entire book you can check out the YouTube summaries and try to apply few things out of it.

Getting things done by David Allen Eat that frog by Brian Tracy

If you’re into reading, I’d suggest read Atomic habits from James Clear. I like some of the practical tips like habit stacking. It works in my personal experience. Give it a try, taking the first step is important!

I have a very good technique to avoid procrastination. I'll let you know tomorrow

As an ADHD diagnosed person, nothing yet worked for me. I always do things when the deadline is near. It's taking a big toll on my mental and physical health. I started the meds, but the current ones are not working, I feel sleepy just after 2 hrs of taking them. I will switch to a different medicine soon though, will see if it works or not.

Go for a brief short run/fast walk... Keep thinking about things to do. Now the important bit. With that momentum, while you are still panting and out of breath, get to work.

This nifty trick works wonders for me.

There is this other thread on “ducked up attention span” - honestly this is all linked together

We are all becoming dopamine addicted monkeys and usually have zero idea wtf we are doing

Need to start by just meditation or something, most of us

I’m not doing this myself, but just frustrated in myself, and want to get to it soon!

Recently did a few things:

1. Set up Any.do for a really sorted todo list system
2. Removed social media apps
3. Trying to actively have mindfulness nudges, that remind me to pause, reflect on what I’m doing, and do what I really have to do

Small things, but going in the right direction

From my personal experience, I used to procrastinate a lot for example let's say I have a very important deadline, I would procrastinate till the very end and i end up half assing the work and it would turn out mediocre, i watched multiple videos and read multiple books I would successfully follow for 2 days and then back to watching Netflix when I have so much things to get done instead, so finally after a lot of trial and error I found one thing to be working for me might not work for everyone, so initially I took just 1 thing that is at most priority and i would design my life around it, so for example, I wanted to start working out regularly so what i did was to do it as early as possible so i started hitting the gym first thing in the morning, obviously initially you might miss one or 2 days but it's still better then sitting at home and thinking how I can improve, so gradually i became regular but it took some time for me to get use to it make it a habit.

I suggest you read Atomic Habits it was very helpful for me so most people procrastinate because they are afraid about the result, or that end goal is too big to achieve, I used to think the same way, always use to calculate how far I should go to achieve a goal and get demotivated to do so, but that book taught me that a very very small change in life each day will get me there instead of always looking at the end result, so now I am trying to achieve a small goal which is very much in my control and very doable, hope this is helpful:)

I've been reading comments, I've tried a lot and had some success with some of it but maintaining productivity over a long period of time, seems like an impossible task. As a student i suffer alot from this kind of thing I hate it. But I've hopes I'll figure out something that works for me but yeah try different things, do record and track then compare what is working. I'm using obsidian to track stuff and as a personal knowledge management tool :)
