The best tool I currently have to battle procrastinating is acknowledging the nature of my personal beast - My procrastination is mostly not driven by laziness or ADHD, but actually anxiety driven.

When facing new tasks with unknowns, my fear of failure & social anxiety is what's holding me in place. (Which is pretty silly, since not doing the task is basically failure in itself, but I guess then you get to blame "laziness" and such)
