Procrastination with Demotivation: The Nerd's Fatal Flaw

You are sitting in front of a blank page.
Pencil/Pen in hand.
Ideas bursting out of the woodworks.
And then when you try to put something on the page, nothing comes.
And the next thought that passes the mind winds up being:
"I'm not feeling this... maybe I'll do this tomorrow."

That right there is the beginning of the end.

Procrastination is something that a vast majority of us smart-ass Nerds have a problem dealing with. This is a gift and a curse and can affect us even outside of school.
Knowing that we can do things (maybe even BS things) right before they need to be done sets a hard to break pattern for the rest of the things in our lives. For example, our being able to write a paper 3 hours before it's due and still getting an A on it can actually hinder our motivation to do things that we want to do such as writing blogs like these.
This bad habit can be quite self-debilitating if one lets this get out of control. How are we supposed to spread our Nerd knowledge and such when we can barely get ourselves to do things before the day it's due? How are we going to spread our talents, such as writing, drawing, and creativity with a topping of our intelligence if we lack the motivation to?

But this is just my own observation.

All I know is that this lack of motivation is something that seems to be somewhat linked to procrastination and there needs to be some type of balance to keep both of these things under control. What do you all think? The next article I write will be a list of ways to keep the procrastination down and lift the motivation up. Suggestions are very welcome and will be put in the list!
