When I'm tempted to procrastinate on something important I add a 15 minute block to the calender and force myself to do the smallest unit of effort against the task. Often I find it's enough to get the ball rolling. I use a similar method that I heard from Scott Adams when you are lying down and should get up but don't want to--start by moving just one finger, then your hand, etc. Odd but effective.
