What meditations can be done to fight procastination?

QN:  What meditations can be done to fight procastination?
 
ANSWER:
 
Sat Naam
I bow to the Light Within You.
 
 
There is a beautiful line from the saint Kabir.  It has helped me to remember it whenever I feel like putting off tasks.
 
He wrote "What you are going to do tomorrow, do today, and what you are going to do today, do right now!"
 
[Full quote is in the Guru Granth Sahib 1371 :

kabeer kaal kara(n)thaa abehi kar ab karathaa sue thaal ||
paashhai kashhoo n hoeigaa jo sir par aavai kaal ||138||

Kabeer, that which you have to do tomorrow - do it today instead;
and that which you have to do now - do it immediately!
Later on, you will not be able to do anything,
when death hangs over your head. ||138||
 
Full gurmukhi version:
 
Kabir Ji's lifestory in an online book - 
 
 
ANother one of his verses which has helped me goes something like, "Whenever you get the chance to meet a saint, go an meet them, even if its for just an hour, or half an hour, or half of half an hour."
 
dust of your feet
 
Harjit
