Procrastination sucks. I procrastinated with school work because I found "time pressure" of a looming deadline motivating. If I knew I didn't *need* to study, and could still be successful, then I put whatever I needed to study off until I had the least amount of time left needed to accomplish studying and still get a good grade. Once I accepted that was just my style, I relaxed about it. It was at that point I actually could sit down whenever and get work done, without the pressure. Kinda weird how that worked. I still procrastinate with things I hate to do, like laundry. I'll be down to 1 shirt and a pair of shorts that are starting to smell like my sweaty balls, then I'll do laundry, lol. 
If your procrastination style causes you to fail, rather than being a source of motivation, you have to schedule your study times like appointments. Tell yourself you have no choice. At the predetermined time you sit down and study. Whatever excuse you come up with, throw it away - just like Shannon said. Write down, "I choose to sit down and start studying now. I choose to start NOW." Read that 20 times every time your appointed time to study starts.
Then sit your damn ass down and study, Jake!
