1. Turn off all room lights around you.
2. Turn on desk lamp
3. Put on headphones and listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoUXbEgJMXM

You have now properly prepared yourself to concentrate for 46 minutes and 22 seconds.

I started listening to the music instead.

Let me see...

First start by splitting up your work into small chunks and do the easiest things you don't mind doing first. Then do one small bit.

There is no requirement on how small this chunk can be. If you have 50 math questions then a chunk could be 5 of them.

I take what I do seriously, and I let the fear of negative consequences keep me on task. It's not the best way to stay focused and motivated but it's certainly one way. I want good outcomes and I make myself responsible for getting them. That translates into guilt when I'm not doing something I should be, and I quit screwing around as much.

Funny thing is... It is the negative concequences of a task that makes me procrastinate the most. Then again I don't have the same issue.
