People who struggled with procrastination and have now stopped, what made you stop procrastinating? What do you think were the factors leading or contributing to your past procrastination and how did you stop or improve the situation?

Please don’t answer with the “I’ll tell you later” joke.

    Having less of the perfectionist mindset and more of the “80% quality”. Bad experiences from procrastinating helps you learn too.

      This. It took a damn long time but I finally realized that at least doing something lackluster is better than doing nothing at all. “But if I start now I’ll never catch up” well, at least I can catch up a little instead of doing nothing.

      Well, that, and actually failing a big life objective because of procastination.

      Same boat. I decided shit does not have to be perfect but by doing so and getting down to the work, I think I am getting far more done and on average I am now coming out with end results that are often better then when I was striving for perfection.
