Procrastination at its peak

Wake up at 11 in the morning.
Read newspapers for 1 hour.
Take a bath. Go for lunch.
Come back and sleep for 2-3 hours more.
Wake up at 5. Go for tea.
Browse for 2-3 hours or watch a movie.
Take dinner.
Again browse(read chat) fo 2-3 hrs and go to sound sleep again.

This is I think how i have been spending all my weekends for almost last 2 years with no studies or useful work watsoever and on Sunday night while finally go for sleep i will think- Man, I have to plan for some higher studies and need to do sth about it. Atleast i should spend 12-15 hours on weekend to study but as the next weekend shoots in the laziness again takes it toll.

I stll remember my 11th-12th days where even after 7 hours of tuitions i get to spend 5-6 hrs of self study. Has that intent to succeed and make a great career died and I am too content with my current job and dont want to study further or its just that after almost 60 hours of hectic work in the week i want to relax a bit in the two days i get to spend my time according to my wish.

But surely whatever i am doing is cost me heavily in my career as they say-

Lost time is never found again.

May i realise this soon and do something useful in my idle time
