I made this list hoping it would be a go-to for when I feel like procrastinating... I could look at this list before I decide to watch TV or take a nap. It's not working out very well because the main reason I procrastinate is either that I'm tired (for no good reason) or I'm anxious. The slow breathing (or yoga) doesn't really help... sometimes it makes me more anxious because it's not working.

If anyone has any tips to get past that point, please please tell me (I'm @katylava on Twitter). Well, any tips that don't involve medication (anti-anxiety meds put me to sleep).

Thankfully I only have this problem at home, not at work. I do get really sleepy at work, but I can't put my head down and there's nothing else to do, so at the very least I stare at my open files until something comes to mind. At home however, I don't have that external pressure so I have to rely solely on willpower points.
