I find in order to stop procrastination you would first need to evaluate the importance of the task required. We all know that we do not place merit on tasks or interests that have no sufficient barring on our individual attention. To most attention is a restricted resource which allows most to only be able to devote awareness to task one at a time. We are able to allocate attention to two or more task simultaneously as long as the input and out paths are different. We don't return to something we recently experienced or examine. So procrastination could be on terms of temporary avoidance or chronic avoidance. An excellent strategy to start will is start your day doing the things that bore you the most or the most difficult get it out of the way (band aid style rip it off quickly). Next one most likely experiencing time management issues so getting more organized with to-do lists or using your cellphone's calendar to add your scheduling and giving ample time to complete each task and even adding breaks if need or allowed. Set goals and then add logical planning to see to the achievement of the goals it's also a sense of pressure some work well under pressure. Sometimes procrastination is the gateway defense mechanism recondition your thinking into removing the "I need to" "I have to" to a more assertive goal "I will" or "I want" and follow through. Lastly, don't leave room for deliberations. The more you think about your mountain of tasks the likely you are to select the ones "most" convenient or "easier" thereby putting the others off to another time that is already spotted for the stealing of new tasks. If all else fails simply provide yourself with a positive reinforcement such as treat yourself for a job well done which is motivator in itself; should you not complete the task the discipline will also motivate you to get the task done in order to get your treat and the consequence for not doing so
