I've definitely been in that situation before. Whenever it is goes like "I'll do Y, then I'll do X, after Y", where X is the more important thing to do, it doesn't happen. That's why whenever I catch myself saying that, I stop, I don't do Y but actually do X. Instead of saying you'll code after another article, or another game, etc... you should instead code before those things. Just the act of sitting down and doing it is enough satisfaction and makes me motivated even more, conquering procrastination. Anyways, that worked for me.
