"I have struggled with this problem for all of my academic and professional career. It was only until this year until I finally started addressing it. After a lot of thought and reading, I've found that I procrastinate for the following reasons:
1) The task is mundane or repetitive.
2) I think the task is trivial. "Oh, thats something I can bang out in a few hours, and I've got all week to work on it"
3) There is a tricky problem within the task that I haven't figured out yet."
You've nailed it, especially number 3. I'll take out my pencil & paper, start sketching out things. The moment something stumps me, I put it down and get up 'for a drink of water.' While I'm up, might as well see what's on USA. Maybe White Collar or Burn Notice...and three hours pass.
If I may ask, how old are you? And why are you 'angry'
