Oh.

um... I don't know what you NEED to do then.
That's the same for me. I mean, what would I have needed to do aside from write that paper?

One helpful tactic I learned (or at least heard) in stated from Chris is to find something you need to do but want to do even less, and procrastinate on that by doing the other thing that you were previously procrastinating on.

I found myself accidentally doing that today. I have to teach a particular class tomorrow and I have been putting off preparing for it for weeks. Today I am still procrastinating the prep but now it has gotten to the stage of me actually doing other things that I have been putting off for even longer as an avoidance tactic.
Now I am procrastinating that by visiting this forum again.
Hi everyone!
