Procrastination

Hey /prog/.

I've got a serious problem. I procrastinate when it comes to programming. Alot. Okay, not just programming, but it's where I mind the habit the most. Admittedly, I set my standards for a program pretty damn high, but I'd like to get somewhere near a functional model without really being forced to. My personal "Just because" projects rarely ever get finished.

I've been searching for a method to mitigate this. I've had little success. Music can help, especially smoother music, such as Jazz, and especially SHOUTcast streams like Groove Salad.

What works for you?

You need to manage your time better. When approaching a programming task, break down the amount of work spent on it in managable "sessions" of no more than 30 minutes.
Set realistic goals. Don't try overdo things.
