I've got a very bad habit of being lazy and not wanting to do what I need to do. I'm one of the worst procrastinators you'll ever meet. What I've found really helps me when I start to procrastinate is to break things down bit by bit. I'll make a list of all the things that I absolutely NEED to get done, then a list of the things I'd like to get done, and then a third list of things I WANT to do other than work (usually playing video games, watching a movie, etc). Then I do several things from the first list that needs to get done and then I do something from the list that I want to do. So I'll usually do something like pay the bills and clean the bathroom and then go take an hour to watch a movie or show or something and then I'll do the dishes and laundry and take another hour to play video games. Of course, this only works when I've got time available to do all that, but on days when I'm busy I just make a list of things that absolutely need to get done and try to get through them as quickly as possible so I have time to relax and do something fun.
