My solution to procrastination:

1. Identify the activities you procrastinate (for me, writing scientific papers);

2. Rearrange your life so you don't have to do them any more. (I just left academia to do a startup.)

I don't know yet! I'm still exploring that, while finishing up various academic projects.

You are delaying facing your fate too! Just do it man. If something is told here over and over, is that theres no perfect business idea. You pick one direction and correct your course every time your market tells you so. good luck. :)

that's the single best solution to the procrastination problem I've seen.

Another possibility is to rearrange things in such a way that the only think you can still do are the things you are trying to get away from.

You can always sit there and stare.
