People who struggled with procrastination and have now stopped, what made you stop procrastinating? What do you think were the factors leading or contributing to your past procrastination and how did you stop or improve the situation?

Please don't answer with the "I'll tell you later" joke.

When my wife asks me to do something suddenly I stop procrastinating on my tasks.... however the thing she asked me to do... well...

But in all seriousness my medication helps me focus a lot but doesn't solve all my problems. I find thinking of the bad outcomes if I was to procrastinate longer, helps a bit.
