I have a paper due Monday, and two more due on Tuesday, so you would think I would be a little more motivated to do my work than I currently am. I mean, it is just hanging over my head right now, stressing me out, so why don't I want to do it?
I feel like this a lot in my walk with God. I neglect prayer for a while, or skip my quiet time for a day or two, and things pile up and eventually I can't remember the last time I really spent time digging into my Bible for real spiritual food. This only worsens my downward spiraling relationship with God, which then serves to discourage me from starting back up again. I wait until my confidence in my faith is circling the drain, before I cry out for forgiveness. This definitely seems like a pretty messed up relationship, and one that I would not enjoy this if the roles were reversed.
So, there's a little look into my current thoughts and whatnot. So, does anyone know a cure for procrastination? 'Cause I could certainly use one about now...

I don't have the 'cure' for procrastination (else I'd have cured myself long ago), but as for digging into the Word, my own experience has been that the best way to have a desire to is to just do it.
We thirst for the Word of God once we taste the Word of God; the best way to desire God more is to experience him more through the Word and prayer.
If you find a cure for procrastination, please spread the word. I suffer from it way too often. I've got a 10 page paper, a presentation, and an exam to study for, but I definitely need to have Bible time as well, and I know that should be my number one priority. Another Spring Break would be pretty good right about now. Good luck with your papers! =)
