College has started again, in what looks to be a hard semester, involving a lot iof new ideas and a lot of work, plus looking for some sort of job after the lab thing didn't work out, plus a large amount of other random goals and simple things I feel like doing, and I constantly find myself procrastinating still.
I'm interested in any mental tricks people can use to get themselves to do something, whatever it involves, since the usual tricks I use aren't working, and a few other ones haven't been working either. (Such as listing everything out and putting it in an easy to see place.) I know in general what the goals are and have some idea of how to go about them, but somehow it seems I get taken over a lot by another part of my brain that just wants to surf the internet all day.
(I realize this isn't a serious problem compared to someone's death in a family, say, but it is quite a problematic one for me at the moment that tends to feed itself, and these forums do in general seem to involve people asking for help.)
