Hi there, I´m in 3rd semester of my Doctor´s program, and this procrastination problem has been with me since I started...all I can say is that although I think we all do what we have to when there are determined dates for it, most time is just lost in " not-what-I-need-to-be-doing stuff". And one advice I can give is to keep a full agenda (that includes leisure time [most of it really]). Setiting time and some rewards for a paper done in time, is one way to motivate yourself. And of course the "study-budy" it sounds lame but, I found a Physics MA student that although has nothing to help me with my research, has specific hours in the lab that translate to specific analysis hours. That´s when I tag along and stare at her working her ass off and it inspires me. I do sit a bit far ,but not far enough so that I can´t listen to the "Do you want a Starbucks?" calling. So yeah, Full Agenda and a Study-budy. p.d. This does not work all the time but when it does.. the job get´s done.
