I saw this a while back and it's really helped: How to fight procrastination Behavior = Motivation + Ability + Trigger If you're lacking motivation: build motivation by remind yourself "why" (even if it's just "so it's done" but could be "do my taxes so I don't go to jail"). Add personally meaningful reasons to the tasks. Remind yourself why you took on the task. If you're lacking ability: break down the task, make a timeline, build the timeline backwards from the due-date. If you're lacking a trigger (like a task that can be done "whenever"): Create a cue. A cue is what+when+where. Take <15mins to decide which subtask to start with. If you still can't decide after 15mins, pick one at random.
