The thread for flipping shits (and tables)

As a chronic procrastinator myself, the best technique I've found is to start working immediately upon waking up.

Don't go to any of your usual distractions, don't even eat breakfast, just turn to the thing you need to work on and just do something with it. If you've just woken up and haven't got it into your head yet that you're going to be doing anything else, it's easier to get to work.

I can't guarantee this will work for everyone, of course, and it may be that you have other issues with the particular assignment worrying you that are making it much more stressful. Still, it's worth a try to see if it helps.
