First of all, thanks for the link to my blog. I found you because I saw the link back.
I can really empathize with you and the problem with not Getting Things Done. I've struggled with procrastination for a long time and one thing that has helped me more than anything else is the concept of Just Do It. I don't use that phrase as hype or some cheerleading nonsense, I use it simply at face value. The hardest part of many projects/tasks is starting, so I simply start. I don't care anymore if I'm completely prepared to do it, or if I have time to finish it right now, I just start doing it. And you know what? That has been the single most liberating tactic I've found to overcome procrastination.
Good luck with your Spanish, and if you want help reading that newspaper, just ask me.
