I tend to procrastinate on things that are only really important to me like side projects, job hunting etc. When someone else is expecting me to do something, I will just do it. I worked on a side project that my wife asked me for and did it in one sitting.
My "fix" has been to create external pressure somehow. Want to learn something? Sign up to a course that has hard deadlines. Want to build something? Tell someone about it and offer to show them a draft by a certain date. It seems to work for me.
