Yes, I think EIIs procrastinate a lot. Two things that helped me:
1. Setting up an agreement with my LSE friend that I would meet him in the library at a certain time, and if I was late, I was to give him some sum of money (which he was planning to donate, but I was never late anyways). It is pretty important to get the right kind of person to do this. One of my EII friends and I have repeatedly tried to set up similar agreements for the both of us, but neither of us could keep up with enforcing the agreement if the other went astray. When my LII friend heard of my success with the LSE friend, she wanted me to do the same for her, but I could never be bothered to actually discipline her. I could tell from the way that my LSE threatened me once when I arrived exactly on the minute, that he would definitely really take the money from me.
2. Getting this mobile app (ATracker for iPhone; a friend has told me there are similar apps for Android) where you can keep track of how much time you spend on each activity you have to do. This way, you can come away from a study session saying, "I worked for 30 minutes in a row!", feel productive, take a bit of a break, and then get back into it. I think that something annoying about studying by itself is that it's sometimes hard to tell how much progress you've made. For example, it's frustrating if you're studying one past exam with 5 questions, and one of the questions takes a really long time to understand. Then you might feel like you haven't made much progress, but in reality, it was important to understand that question, so it was necessary to spend a lot of time on it--then this tracker app can help you feel more productive. It's a bit of a Te suggestive hack, I think, that indulges our weak but valued Te.
Best of luck!
