I often have a work for work avoidance pile. Tons of things that I get down while avoiding something else. For the most part I procrastinate if I am feeling swamped or like there is nothing that needs to be done urgently. Actually taking a day off to procrastinate also helps a lot. Setting a time to start working on something does nothing for me and I end up staring at my screen if I do.

and realize how pathetic it is.
I feel sorry for myself having to get up to be at training @ 05:30, until I see people standing in the cold waiting for a taxi to get to work at the same time.
Procrastination is a word to make you feel better about being a lazy deadbeat. Seriously, the 1st step to recovery is acknowledging that you have a problem.
