Ask HN: How do you overcome laziness?

hey everyone, i am a college student, and procrastination is something that is ruining my life. i know what needs to be done, but i don't do it and waste time on other random things that are not important. i realise where the problem is, and know that it has a simple solution: just do it; but more often than not, i am unable to execute the things that i need to get done. the pomodoro technique is great and all, so are some of the other techniques, but they don't click with me. i am wondering whether some of you were in the same situation, and would like to share some solutions, suggestions. i understand that hn is not a self help forum, but i would really appreciate your comments. if you would rather email me, my email is in my profile. thanks.
