FANners, like I'm sure many of you, I have an horrendous procrastination problem. I have a metric crapton of work to do, but cannot find anything in me to do it. Do any of you have any tips on getting over the wall?

You really just have to do it. I come on here and waste too much time.

Do the easiest first, as you can safely get that out of the way and give yourself some momentum. Prioritize and give yourself plenty of time to complete the most difficult task. Make sure to give yourself some time to relax between tasks unless it is absolutely impossible for you to do so. I think the best way to relax between tasks is to get out of your house, leave your work there, and go some place for an hour or two and not think about what you are doing, with the catch being that you must return to work after you relax.
Promise yourself that you'll do something to celebrate after you finished the work and follow through with it.

I'll respond to this later.
Har har har har. ;D
I've had a procrastination problem for years, and I personally believe it was directly linked to my self esteem problem. That's of course not universal, that's just how it was for me.
Since I've worked on the latter, the former has really fallen into place and I've just forced myself to stay on track with things. If I sense that I'm losing interest or logging on to a website to waste time, I just have to stop myself and tell myself "stay focused. It's not going to get done any sooner if you keep jacking around."
Does it work every time? No. However, I'm better at staying focused and actually doing the shit now than I ever have been.
It's just up to you, really. You just have to force yourself to stay focused. I know that that's a lot easier said than done, but nobody else but you can help you there.
