Stoicism, the whole cold shower thing worked for me. Makes you think about every excuse before you get into the shower. Same goes with anything. Ex:homework Why are you putting off the homework? Excuses. Once you get it done asap then it feels great not having to worry about it. That's just me tho. Good luck. You can also think if it's less than five minutes just do it right then and there. Then add more time slowly. You'll find yourself doing more work. Meditation to keep your mind focused.

Cold showers. Start with a simple exercise routine and just follow it every day. Journaling helps too even if it's just a few sentences about your day. The point is to create new patterns in your day to day life to break the cycle of procrastination.

Discipline

Start small, and build it up so that it becomes a habit. For example, earlier this year I got tired of having a sink full of dishes at the end of the week so I took small, incremental steps to prevent it from happening. It took a while, but eventually I got to the point where everything I use I wash immediately (especially right after cooking), and I've done it so many times that I don't even think about it anymore.

When you repeat the same action enough times it will become just another thing that you do, no different than putting clothes on or eating. This is what prevents you from procrastinating.

Stop procrastinating. Start doing. Don't stop until you're done. Keep drinking water and eat fruits.

You're welcome. This may seem overly simplistic, but trust me, this simple system has helped me tremendously. Most procrastinating comes from a place of lying to yourself about your actions or their consequences and your words vs your actions. So make your words congruent with your actions. My friends for example keep saying they'll quit smoking, but I love smoking! So I'm not going to beat myself up over the ideal of quitting. Get comfortable with yourself.

Essentially, procrastinating is often an emotional reaction. Cut those things out you don't really have to and you'll be so much happier.
