Careful not to get neurotic about this.

Will power is not the solution to all life's problems.

I agree mainly because I find willpower to be a limited resource anyways and therefore I think creating better habits is more powerful.

Well, atleast you have dreams. Where do you wanna travel? Maybe you can go with a group or something. 

I wanted to travel to the Americas, europe and Asia(places like China and Japan for example), but for now honestly I just want to focus on getting my life together where I am right now(Israel). 

@Exystem thank you for the sage advice. I used to do alot of do nothing meditation but ultimately it just makes me stir crazy Even there is value in doing nothing as a meditation which I couple with strong determination sitting.

I have the same issue, good topic, i'll try some of the stuff recommended here.

 

A lot of time procrastination for me has something to do with fearing making the wrong decision, fearing of going into a wrong direction but a lot of times it's also just laziness. I also have a ADD diagnosis, but stims make me mostly anxious.

Problem of procrastination are due to these reasons (at least one of them):

1) Missing vision/LP (huge game changer)

2) Not enough emotional mastery, clear planning and discipline

3) Not enough personal/spiritual development

4) The things you are doing are not authentic or you are not doing them with real authentic intrinsec motivation
