Make yourself feel guilty as much as possible and break your routine by introducing a new non-coding non-computer activity in between your guilty pleasures. Based on my experience with procrastination and trying to break it, how about your modify your procrastination little bit as suggested below. > "Okay, a new day, let's start. let's check hackernews first. great neat stuff. alright one more article and i'll fire up my ide and terminal." < Before playing counter strike, Fire up your IDE and Terminal before going to next step. Make sure you maximize your IDE and Terminal to fill all the screen space. Then take a quick little walk in the room/apt/house. Come back to screen and if you want to still play counter strike, minimize your IDE and Terminal (don't close any of programs or switch to a different desktop view). If you still wants to play counter strike, go ahead play. > "okay i'm tired now, time to play some counter strike. lets play for 30 minutes. oh I SUCK at this game just like I'm sucking at not procrastinating. this guy is talking trash time to show him who's boss. crap, it's been an hour. now im hungry. lets eat." < Before going to eat, Open up your project and source code file that you want to work on. Make sure again the screen is completely filled. Go eat something away from screen. Take a walk around the room/apt/house/neighborhood. > "alright now im full, i need to relax and check hackernews again." < Come back to screen and if you want to still check hacker news, Write a few lines of code. And then check hacker news. Sooner or later, you will start to feel guilty seeing the IDE, Terminal, Project, Source Code file on your screen every time you come back to your computer and start doing more and more coding.
