Might help you guys in your new year's resolutions in combating procastination:

a.) small chunking (dividing a specific goal in small achievable chunks)
b.) reward system (reward yourself in each goal done)
c.) have a game plan (meticulous planning to the letter)
d.) accountability tactics. (tell people about your goal and bet money on it)

Great ideas.  Have you ever tried a random reward tactic - maybe flipping a coin?  It has helped me to keep momentum even if I didn't get a reward.

I've also learned to schedule large blocks of time for my hobbies, and respect those appointments just like any other.  Having a game plan and a schedule can really help you reach your goals.

Now, all I need is some frickin' talent!
