  I've been working on this for about a year on iScribble now...
  
  292 days to be exact.
  
  
  
  
  Sometimes, it takes patience to get stuffs done. Slow and steady, I guess.

  
  
  
  Snap that is looking good as slowly as it may be moving.
  
  
  I'm the most boring guy alive. I write out my plans and try my best to stick to them if i go off track I look at my plans to remind me of what i need done and get back to it. like I said, the most boring guy around.
  
  Mind you that method is wonderful until you get art block, much worse than procrastination imo DX.

  I slack off every 10 minutes because of Mabinations and the constant farming of holy water... I can't stop... ;~; Even if I do work, I only get enough done that I would get done if I procrastinated, so not much point... Yet I still get As on my projects! :D

  I wish to try this, "Turning off of the computer", you speak of.

  I don't procrastinate. Either I do it, or I don't.

  I usually do my work.
  
  And by usually, right when I get it.

  ^ Pretty much this.
  
  Of course, if you want, I found a way to stop my procrastination is making myself go hungry, and telling myself I'll get food when I'm finished with homework or whatever. Hunger is a strong motivation.

  Think about how important the paper is and how it will affect your grade.
  
  Think about your current grades.
  
  Panic on what would happen if something happened to your grades.

  It's just a matter of willpower and if you can muster up enough of it. I've got a 15,000 word term paper due in 5 days and I've yet to start research. I plan to start tomorrow morning.
  I was gonna do it yesterday but I slept in instead.
  ...
  ...
  So yeah. Current plan is to go to the library tomorrow morning and just get everything done there. We'll see how well that goes. >.>
  
  (I know for a fact if I could invent a pill that boosts willpower for ~12 hours, I'd become a very rich person.)

  Side effects include: Zombification and sneezing tomato soup owo
  But yeah me and you are in the same boat, except my paper isn't nearly as long... Good luck nonetheless :D? I noticed that if I get into my topic of writing or can relate to something, words just drip out of the end of my pen. Maybe that might help? xD

  I take a lot of breaks.
  
  I usually search the web, listen to podcasts/music or watch videos until a few ideas pop into my mind for projects!

  Oh crap... I gotta finish a paper tonight.
