I don't know if this happens to anyone else but sometimes in the morning as I wake up I will have this sort of waking dream that I need to do something important than I do it, then as I really wake up I have to try and remember whether or not I did it. Its a very bizarre thing. Because it feels so real. The worst part is I think it doesn't just happen when I dream. I feel like its possible to happen to me all the time. Its not like I'm more prone to doing that while I'm waking up.
Anytime I feel like I really need to do something...I'll tell myself I need to do that. Then I don't apply the sense of urgency or motivation to it so that it happens. Its almost as if just by thinking about it I'm moving on my way towards doing it and therefore I am happy with the progress I have made and I go back to what I am doing.
The best way for me to overcome this is by creating lists...but then the minute i put one of the things off I feel that its permitted to put the rest of the things off as well. The only way to remedy my procrastination is to do what it is that I'm thinking immediately...as soon as I get the idea I need to do it. Today was a really good day. Everything on my list was completed. That never happens. But today I stuck it through and cleared it. It feels really empowering. Almost like I can do anything.
