As a fellow procrastinator I sympathise with your problem. The only technique that works for me is one I call the JUST SHOW UP technique. For you, this would look something like this:

DAY ONE: You sit at your desk (or wherever you study) with your work in front of you for say fifteen minutes. No TV, no people to chat to, no magazines .... just you and your work. Set a timer if you have one. The important thing is that you have no expectations. You just sit there and if you feel like working - great but it's no big deal if you don't. The important thing is to just show up.

DAY TWO: Repeat of day one.

DAY THREE: Repeat of day one.

DAY FOUR: Start to increase the amount of time you show up for by say ten minutes.

The idea is that by say day three or four, you start to do a bit of work. My own theory is that you are showing the universe and yourself that your INTEND to work - intention is a really big part of manifesting anything. If you continue to faff about , you aren't really intending anything very focused even if you feel as if you are spending a lot of time worrying about it, thinking about it.

You can look at the psychological aspects once you've got past these exams maybe?

This is right down my alley because you have never met such a former procrastinator in your life. I am not kidding and I have very good news for you I have found a way to include everything I need to do one little step at a time giving myself still plenty of time to be lazy. First thing I did was to think always of my Ultimate Goal and start my day writing down just a few things I need to do that is easy to do. I used to always look at the big picture and it looked impossible but by looking at one little task at a time has been making it surprisingly easy and I automatically fill my days with amazing results. Once I get in motion I keep in motion and it becomes so much fun I can't stop myself, it really does work. Being grateful for what you already have and what you've already done helps too. Write a gratitude list and look at it often it will make you smile.

The mind world is a symbolic world. With this understanding we see why when we dream we seem to have strange dreams, until we figure out the meaning of the symbols that the associations of the mind in your subconscious is already known. I believe this is why Reiki and other healing systems works so well. The mind associates the symbols with healing.

I was once learning Reiki NLP reprogramming and my teacher told a story. She spoke of a man that wanted to stop procrastinating. She asked him the three questions, what do you want, when do you want it, what will you do to get it? When she got to when do you want it, he said tomorrow. She thought that odd, someone that wants to stop procrastinating saying tomarrow. But she programmed him for tomarrow. The next day he did everything he had been meaning to get around to doing!

I can't show you that because that is part of my Reiki. However since you see these as blocks like a wall, we can work with that as a symbol. How many ways can a wall be smashed down? You can have real fun with this symbol if you want, not only imagining you are smashing it with a wreaking ball and a crane. You could imagine you have a bazooka, or granades you throw at it. Anything to remove that wall in your mind! You could draw pictures of it busted through. Maybe the Cool-Aid guy is breaking through, maybe the Incredible Hulk, maybe you imagine airplanes shooting rockets at it. Anything to get rid of that wall blocking you.

First you must firmly associate the wall as the blockage. Then say now the wall of procrastination comes down! Now have fun obliterating that wall!

You could pray, "God you brought down the walls of Jericho. This wall is as nothing to you, I give this to you to go before me and smash down this wall of procrastination. I give this to you, bring down this wall now! I know and trust you have heard this prayer. It is already being done, thank you, thank you, thank you, in Jesus name I pray... Amen.
