If you want to stop procrastination: -
1) change your environment. Go to a library or something, leave all your entertaining shit at home.
2) turn your mobile off, or lock it away
3) break down your tasks, and keep breaking them down smaller until you actually make progress. Just opening the document can be one, or working for 2 minutes, whatever it takes.
4) try the pomodoro method - agree that you will do X task for 25 minutes and then reward yourself with a 5 minute break. I find this very helpful.
The more you procrastinate, the more pressure you feel because the task gets bigger or more tasks get added to your to-do list. The more pressure you feel, the more stressed you are, the more you want to avoid the task and do something that feels enjoyable. It is a very difficult cycle to break, but you have to start somewhere, no matter how small.
