We need help from other people who are in a position to help use achieve some of our goals. Other like minded people will be like buddy systems to help inspire us and to keep us accountable for our goals.

One of these was called iProcrastinate Podcasts and I really enjoyed listening to them because it's a review of literature about procrastination and therefore quite interesting to try and separate the emotion from the action.
