Whenever there's something I don't want to do, I say, "I can do it for 15 minutes." And I book in the next 15 minutes I can find. Sometimes it takes a few starts, but that approach has yet to let me down. Also, I book in an hour a day for "productivity" -- and literally I just try and knock out as many short-tasks I can think of in that time. Anything under 3 minutes, time to do it. Take out the trash, send an email, fold clothes, whatever... I just try and smash out as many things in that hour as I can. I used to struggle with procrastination. I was the kid would start his homework at 8 PM on Sunday. The thing about that is more often than not you're fucked if something takes longer than you expected. And now... I rarely get caught off guard with tasks, I know pretty soon if something is going to take more time than I'm expecting it to take. Don't worry about how talk the mountain is, just take a few steps and see where you get.
