Ask yourself how much better or worse you are going to feel after completing a task you're procrastinating on. Write the answer down and put it to the test. After doing this several times I'm finding that I wrongly assume I'm going to feel worse after finishing the task, which makes me procrastinate.
This reminds me of a CBT technique for reducing anxiety: when you're worried about what will happen in some situation, make a prediction, and then test it.
