FM, to some degree most of us suffer from procrastination so I can somewhat understand how you feel. I usually procrastinate because it's something that requires me to go out of my comfortzone or something I'm unsure of how to do or something that's just not very interesting to me and I'll avoid it until I can't anymore.

I'm wondering since you probably work from home that makes it even harder because you can just walk out of your 'office' and be at 'home'? Unlike when you go to work you have to dress differently, you have to drive etc to work and you can't leave that easily plus you've got your boss to answer to as well as it's usually a team project so other people sort of keep you on track by asking for progress or waiting on you. I'm sure you've already tried a lot of strategies etc so this is probably nothing new but perhaps like PG said if there's a way to incorporate same sort of a routine as if you were working at a company that may help? Do you use any project planning tools etc? I know you said you were familiar with the Getting Things Done strategy have you found that to help at all? In reading and trying various strategies do you have one or two that you feel work for you better than the others? Could you take those, brainstorm and improve upon them somehow?
