"When you notice yourself procrastinating, you will be able to muster the courage to do what you're trying to avoid."

When I actually realize that I am procrastinating, I often can, by this pure insight, get myself to doing that task. To me, it serves as a mind-hack, similar to "The Game".

How about: When you notice yourself procrastinating about something, figure out the first step, count down from 10, and then do it.
