It's counterintuitive but try reducing the amount of work you take on until you start seeing a reduction in the amount of time you spend procrastinating.

- ahmedaly 15y agoThanks for the tip, but getting more work is giving me some positive result.. But I need to solve this issue permanently.. as I started to lose a percentage of my income because of failed projects.
- maxhawkins 15y agoI find the same thing. My focus is much better when I remember to get away from the work take care of myself. At a friend's recommendation I started going to the gym when I feel myself drifting into procrastination. I was skeptical of the benefits at first but now it consistently clears my mind and sets me on the right track. I think it has something to do with the dopamine release that exercise provides. It might also be worthwhile to examine -why- you're procrastinating. In my experience, procrastination is caused by anxiety about the project I'm working on.
