Certainly put off learning that word for long enough :) :) But it is something I suffer from. Several thoughts come to mind from my experience after reading your piece. Beating yourself up about it doesn´t seem to help very much, I seem to get more done by focusing on good I will feel if I tick a load of things off the list. It´s also OK to give up for the day if it´s not working out, things don´t always go the way you planned and giving up for the day sometimes is a better idea than trying to force the world to be the way you want it, or imagined it to be when you wrote the unrealistic todo list :) Really like the site, glad I found it. Keep up the positive. It´s appreciated by me and I´m sure that many people who really are having a bad time get a lot of inspiration from it.

How can we get this message out to everyone? Tell to GOOGLE "Don't Procrastinate". Eddy told me once that he was going to start a group for procrastinators. You know he never got around to it. I think he was busy enjoying life. Thanks for the words of Wisdom. You inspired me to “Just Do It” in every aspect of my life!! How can we get this message out to everyone?

I strive in this world for moderation in my behaviour, thinking and attitude. Hence, I identify the degree of my procastination and honestly I find my levels are quite low so I know there are 'healthy' because it is a natural way of understanding our needs and reflect what we need to do with our lives or what we want in life. So when I find myself not wanting to do anything today but rather wait till tomorrow, perhaps there is another meaning to it -- positively. I do this by listening to my instincts - some call it gut feelings but I have practised in realizing this instinct by listening to myself rather than others or let external forces control me. it takes alot of self-reflection to understand your instincts. To some extent I have been on the extreme levels of procastination by then I am aware what I am going through like a lot of emotional or mental upheavals. So I seek help like self-meditation, yoga, prayers or holistic therapist :-) hope this helps...the bottom line you have to listen to yourself and know what is good and bad for you and identify your own levels of comfort and peace.
