Does anyone know of an amulet against procrastination (or something similar, one for productivity, etc.)? Any cultural or temporal placement would be fine. If I find one, I will tattoo it backwards on my eyelids so I will never, ever wait till the end of the semester to do all my homework again.
Ew.
From a purely Culture Junkie perspective, jade is considered to aid in manifesting dreams into reality and finding your life’s path. Keeping a jade something-or-other on your desk might help remind you of that.
Now stop wasting time on the dope and get some work done, darn it!*
*(Here, take my advice, I’m not using it!

You do realize that your eye cannot focus on your eyelid, right?
I’m going to develop one of those amulets or maybe a cantrip. As soon as I find the time…
Get a Daruma doll or just post this on your wall, next to your school schedule.
Your quest is in itself an impressive bit of procrastination - set yourself the goal of seeking something that might not even exist, before you can allow yourself to quit procrastinating. Meta-procrastination. Nice.
While the OP is searching for a factual? answer, let’s search in MPSIMS. Moved.

Put this next to where you do your homework.
Wow! That was… interesting?
Embrace your procrastination! Maybe you’re one of those people who works best when up against a deadline.

Go now, and ask your silly questions no more.
In the interest of helping a procrastinator by trying to make up for my own procrastination (why no, I didn’t keep up on my reading, why do you ask?) I leafed through my PGM to see what was in there. No dice for helping with procrastination, but lots of stuff for memory, victory, hurting your enemies or summoning a demonic assistant.
I wonder if I could get a demonic assistant to sit my exams…
Well, you can’t really start this kind of amulet until the moon is right, and if you don’t know the right phase of the moon you’d better go to the book store and look it up. While you’re there you can check out the new calendars (they should be everywhere this time of year) and maybe find one with the moon phases on it. Then, of course, you should do some research to find the best object to turn into your amulet. A ring? No, that’ll have you going in circles… Yup, time for another trip to the bookstore. Is that leather bound Sherlock Holmes collection still out? You have to have a pipe to read Holmes, so a trip to the tobacconist first! And the hat. Those are hard to find (PM me and I can give you a connection in Scotland that makes a wonderful Inverness with matching Deerstalker). Harris Tweed is amazing, I wonder if there’s a book on the history of it. Why “Inverness” anyway? I’m fairly sure Holmes didn’t wear a Deerstalker, but I might have to re-read them to find if he wore an Inverness. Maybe brew an India Pale Ale (because Watson was wounded in India) to drink while smoking my pipe, wearing my Inverness (did you get tobacco with the pipe?) and reading Holmes.
After that, focus on your amulet …
If I knew where to get one, I’d get one right this minute. Well, tomorrow, anyway.
But you can, maaaaaan. And Bob Dylan’s hair is totally coming out of the wall right now.
Isn’t a string tied around your finger traditional as a reminder? That would seem to work just fine, especially if it’s just a little too tight to be comfortable, and you only take it off when you’ve finished your work.
If you want to change your way of thinking, get a pendant in the shape of a little knife, and wear it on a short chain. When you have a knife at your throat, you think with a bit more urgency. It must be a very small knife, or you won’t get through security.
You rang?
I need one that will get As, silly!
